Recliner Handle Replacement How To Tutorials

Remove the broken recliner handle by unscrewing the two fixing screws behind the latch using either a manual or electric screwdriver and pull the handle clear of the furniture.


Rotate the handle to locate the retaining clip. Remove the clip by pinching the arms together and unhook the cable from the handle.
Pull the cable sheath clear to allow slack and check around the cable and barrel for any wear, tear or damage.
Secure the original cable into the replacement handle and refit the retaining clip.
Fit the handle and cable back in to the furniture. Pull the handle (the mechanism will open the footrest) to expose the fixing holes and securely fit the screws into both holes.

    Before I found this web site I didn’t even know you could get replacement parts for sofas. I found the website easy to navigate and, once I’d placed the order, the item (large oval handle) was dispatched promptly. The handle I ordered fitted perfectly and, being steel, should last a long while. Overall, a very positive experience – and if I break something else I know where to come.

Had Sofa Rehab recommended to me by a repairer as I had a broken handle on my old recliner. They had all the dimensions on their website, so that I could ensure I was getting the right size. Well priced and speedy delivery and very easy to install. Couldn't be happier.

The price was $70 cheaper than for genuine replacement from a bricks and mortar store in Perth. The handle was easy to install. Delivery was close enough. Well done!

After watching your video on replacing recliner handles and following how to measure the handles correctly I ordered online. Service was very prompt and with the help of the video again I managed to change them easily. Thanks for making this an easy job.

My recliner chair handle snapped and I couldn't use the footrest anymore so Googled for a new handle and this company came up, had the exact part needed and it arrived in due time, fitted perfectly and now I wish I'd ordered two! Will fix the other one another time.

We purchased the 4-pack of small black handles and were easily able to repair our 2 single recliners and now have 2x spare handles in case the recliner 2 seater lounge needs repairs. Great online instructions on how to measure so that you order the correct parts and very fast delivery. Very affordable and easy to do it yourself.
