Handle door and liftgate repairs with ease
Door handles, liftgate handles, and window cranks are subject to extensive wear and tear. Fortunately, our high-quality handles, cranks, and repair kits make these jobs faster, easier, and more affordable than ever before—whether it's a DIY fix at home or a customer repair in your shop.
Our superior handles and cranks are available instantly, offer the same fit and functionality as OE, and we're continually innovating in new technologies to stay ahead of the game. That's why Dorman is the undisputed aftermarket leader.
It’s easy to get a grip on handle and crank repairs when you choose the aftermarket leader.
Why? Because we have thousands of direct replacements for millions of vehicles readily available, as well as improved designs that increase future durability.
- Choose #1 – Nobody beats our coverage—we’ve got your handle
- Save time – Order handles and cranks online or in-store, and install them in minutes
How Dorman improves on OE designs
Our replacement handles and cranks are engineered to match the look, feel, texture, and function of original parts. But that's not all. Because handles and cranks often fail over time due to corrosion and debris intrusion, we improve on original designs whenever we see an opportunity, such as improving seal or materials.
- Cut costs, not corners – Get the same fit and function as the factory equipment, for less
- Increase reliability – Many OE FIX designs featured upgraded gaskets and metal components to help prevent future failures
Product Description

This part is compatible with the following vehicles. Before purchasing, enter your vehicle trim in the garage tool to confirm fitment. [Ford Focus: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007]
