ABSTRACT:
A refrigerator door handle and a method of attaching the handle to a door panel. A door handle retainer strip includes an elongated channel having a shoulder opposite a laterally extending longitudinal groove. After the retainer strip is screwed to the door panel, a rail on the back of the handle is inserted into the channel. The rail has a laterally extending tongue that is received in sliding engagement in the groove as the handle is moved laterally. The handle is then secured or locked in that position within the channel of the retainer strip by driving screws between the shoulder and the rail at the ends of the handle.
