Metal Sofa Handle Cable Recliner Chair Couch Release Lever Replacement (2 Pack B#)

This was a bit shorter than the one that came with my recliner. I just rerouted it a diffeent way and it works fine. Matter of fact, it works better than the original. You don't need as much pull on the lever to release it. Totally satified with this product.

they were a perfect fit for my recliner sofa and quality product

The replacement cable mechanism was a little shorter than my original.Easy to re-install, despite the difference in part length.

This is only a near 35" exposed cable wire length. Made mistake of ordering this. Looks as tho the more universal length is 37" exposed wire cable length. If too short, you will NOT be able to get barrel end into the recliner lever. The lever itself will pull the cable wire roughly another (full) 2 inches to recline. I didn't bother returning first one I bought, being a kinda crimped the clip getting it back out. This is just a heads up to anyone looking. Probably best to fully remove the entire cable device first, then pull out the exposed wire and then measure wire length to be absolutely sure. One seller here does offer multiple length choices in a dropdown menu. Otherwise these cables are a lifesaver for any do it yourselfer, and at a good price.UPDATE: The S/Z hook connector DOES count as part of the overall wire length, not just the wire itself. The seller here who has the dropdown menu has a 38" wire, with cable adjustment to increase the exposed wire length from clamp to hook, probably your best bet for a universal reclining lever wire.

It actually worked!! I'm not surprised by the performance of this product, I'm surprised that it was actually pretty easy to do myself. I had never done this kind of repair before.The two recliners in our couch had been broken for years, and I had pretty much given up on them. Somehow I came across the idea, "there has to be a replacement part for this out there." And thanks to Amazon, there was.I investigated what was broken, and it seemed the little ball-ending-thingy (technical term) had broken off the cable. The release handle looked to be fine, so I only ordered the replacement cable. It's exactly the part I needed.The only thing that didn't quite work "out of the box" for me was the size of the "ball-ending-thingy". The existing handle I had on my couch had a smaller hole than the size of the one on this cable. Luckily I was able to use a 1/4" drill bit and drill out the hole in the handle to be *slightly* bigger and make it fit. Everything else fit into place exactly as you'd expect.So.. if you're reading this, apparently there are different sized ball endings, maybe you should check to see which one you need.Super impressed how easy this was. I would buy again.
