Abstract
A door handle for a refrigerator has a contoured base member of die cast construction. A longitudinal channel is included in a front portion of the base member. An elongated decorative insert is nested in the channel. Flexible spring clips are staked to stud members integrally cast in the base member and coact with locking tabs on the insert to retain the insert in association with the die cast base. Steel extension base pieces are utilized where a longer than normal door handle assembly is required.
