The paddle handle is the part of the box you touch every day and the part a thief attacks first. It is also the part that seizes if water gets into the cylinder. UWS catalogs it as a service part, so a damaged or worn handle does not condemn the box. Replacement for any UWS tool box with paddle handles. One paddle handle.
What's Included:
Features
Key-Operated Lock
A keyed cylinder in the handle, which is what actually secures the box. This is the locking handle of the pair; a two-handle box also uses the non-locking handle, part UWS-NONLOCKING.
Polished Stainless Steel
Stainless resists the corrosion that seizes a latch after a few salted winters, and the polished finish matches the original.
Fits Any UWS Paddle Handle Box
A common service part across the UWS paddle handle range rather than one tied to a single box.

About UWS
UWS is short for United Welding Services, a truck storage brand in the CURT Group, a Lippert company. The reason UWS catalogs a part like this one at all is the same reason its boxes are worth buying: a tool box is a long-lived thing bolted to a working truck, and the pieces that actually wear out are the handle, the lock, the gas strut, the gasket and the cables. UWS keeps those available as individual service parts instead of treating a worn latch as the end of the box.
The paddle handle is the part of the box you touch every day and the part a thief attacks first. It is also the part that seizes if water gets into the cylinder. UWS catalogs it as a service part, so a damaged or worn handle does not condemn the box.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. This is a genuine UWS service part in factory packaging, not an aftermarket copy, so it carries the fit and the finish the original part left the plant with.
