Will this handle work with my existing door latch mechanism?

This handle is designed to bolt to factory mounting points without modification. Your door's internal latch should remain unchanged — the handle is a direct mechanical interface to what's already there.

Do I need to paint this before installation?

The handle arrives ready to install. If your door has a custom color or finish, you can paint it to match before bolting it on — just mask off any mechanical surfaces.

What hardware comes with this handle?

The handle assembly ships as pictured. Confirm the exact fastener kit matches your door before installation — some builds use different bolt configurations at the mounting points.
