National Mfg N117-077 Zinc Chest Handle 4 in Surface Mount

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N117-077 is a surface-mount chest handle designed for small chests and boxes requiring a secure, easy-grip lift point. Constructed from zinc with a steel base, this handle provides in-use hand clearance so fingers stay protected during operation. Sold in a pack of five, the N117-077 suits contractors, tradespeople, and facilities maintenance crews who need reliable hardware for storage and transport applications. Its surface-mount design simplifies installation on wood, metal, or composite chest lids without specialized tooling.

This chest handle is suited for light-duty residential and commercial storage chests, toolboxes, job-site cases, and utility boxes. The 4-inch size targets smaller enclosures where a compact, low-profile handle is preferred over a full bail design. Each handle is individually usable and ships in a five-count visual pack, making it practical for stocking service vans or supply rooms.

Key Features

• 4-inch handle span sized for small chests and utility boxes
• Zinc construction for corrosion resistance in typical storage environments
• Steel reinforcement for structural integrity under repeated load
• Surface-mount design for straightforward fastener-based installation
• In-use hand clearance geometry reduces pinch-point risk during lifting
• Pack of 5 units for multi-unit jobs or inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a surface-mount replacement or new-installation chest handle for small residential and commercial chests and boxes requiring a 4-inch handle footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with basic hand tools including a drill and appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. Power down or secure any latching mechanism on the chest before drilling mounting holes. Follow the fastener manufacturer's load ratings to ensure the handle is adequately anchored for the intended weight. Do not overtighten fasteners into zinc hardware, as this can crack the casting.
