{"product_id":"car-door-latch-assist-handle","title":"Car Door Latch Assist Handle with Moulded Grip","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGetting out of the passenger seat used to mean grabbing the door frame and hoping.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door is open, one foot is already on the tarmac, and the only thing within reach is the top edge of the door or the roof gutter. Neither is where your hand wants to be. This handle goes into the U shaped striker loop on the door frame, the metal loop the door latch closes onto, and puts a proper grip at chest height instead. You hold the sleeve, you come up, you pull the handle back out and drop it in the door pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a simple object and it looks it. A curved metal head ending in a flat forked tip with an arrow stamped on the face, and a moulded sleeve over the shaft with raised ridges for the fingers. Nothing folds, nothing clicks, nothing springs. The maker gives the shaft as aluminium alloy, the whole thing as 16 by 6 cm and 131 g, and offers the sleeve in black, blue or red. The pack holds one handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoes where the grip is missing\u003c\/strong\u003e The striker loop sits at the right height on the door frame, which is exactly where a hand wants something to hold on the way up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNothing to fit\u003c\/strong\u003e It is not bolted, clipped or glued to the car.

Putting a handle there borrows a fixing point the car already has, which is why the tip is a flat fork rather than a hook or a clamp. That also keeps it simple to use. Loop geometry varies a little from car to car, so try it on yours first and let it take a light lean before you rely on it fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e car door assist handle for the U shaped striker loop on the door frame; flat forked metal tip with a stamped arrow; moulded grip sleeve with raised ridges; aluminium alloy shaft; 16 by 6 cm and 131 g; maker model reference XC-QCPJ86; sleeve in black, blue or red; one handle per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people keep it in the door bin of the seat they use. It comes out as the door opens, goes into the loop, and does its job for the five seconds that matter. Then it goes back in the bin before the door shuts, because the door will not close on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt travels well too. It weighs less than a phone, so it can live in a bag for taxis and hire cars rather than in one particular vehicle. That is often the better use: the car you know is the one you have already worked out how to get out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no maintenance. Wipe the sleeve when it gets grubby, check the tip is not bent before you lean on it, and keep it somewhere you can reach from the seat rather than in the boot where it helps nobody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight will it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built as a steadying handle for the moment you rise out of the seat. Give it a gentle test on your own car first, let it take your weight a little at a time, and stop using it if the tip ever shows a bend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a spring or a locking mechanism?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The supplier sheet mentions a spring loaded grip; there is no spring on the product in the photographs and no moving part anywhere on it. The tip simply slides into the striker loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit my car?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker says universal and names no models. The tip is cut for the common U shaped striker loop, so the best move is to open your door and look at the loop before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it best used?\u003c\/strong\u003e As a handy car accessory that puts a solid grip where the door frame gives you none. It works best for the quick lift out of a low seat, used alongside your usual support rather than in place of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 480px; width: 100%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eRemovable assist handle for the U shaped striker loop on a car door frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eTip\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eFlat forked blade with a stamped arrow, no moving parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eAluminium alloy shaft under a moulded grip sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e16 x 6 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e131 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eBlack, blue or red sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eMaker reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eXC-QCPJ86\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eIn the pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eOne assist handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eBest use\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eA steadying handle for the lift out of a low seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moko Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Xc-qcpj86-black","offer_id":43038903402590,"sku":"SU00366771-Xc-qcpj86-black","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xc-qcpj86-blue","offer_id":43038903435358,"sku":"SU00366771-Xc-qcpj86-blue","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xc-qcpj86-red","offer_id":43038903468126,"sku":"SU00366771-Xc-qcpj86-red","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/7031\/2286\/files\/a3e37d55-936c-424e-9538-85028615851c.jpg?v=1784673106","url":"https:\/\/www.moko.boutique\/it\/products\/car-door-latch-assist-handle","provider":"Moko Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
