Treasure Garden Tilt Lever Plastic Handle for AKZP Umbrella in Bronze

Treasure Garden Tilt Lever Plastic Handle for AKZP Umbrella (Bronze) Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tilt Lever Plastic Handle for AKZP and what does it replace?

This replacement part is the plastic handle kit for the tilt lever on AKZP series cantilever umbrellas. It includes the handle, loop lock (already installed), and two rivets. It is used when the original handle is worn, cracked or the tilt mechanism isn’t operating smoothly.

Which umbrella models and finishes is this part compatible with?

The part is designed specifically for the AKZP model umbrellas (cantilever style) in the bronze finish. It is **not** compatible with the older AKZ (non-Plus) models.

What comes in the kit, and what tools or steps are required for installation?

The kit includes: one plastic tilt lever handle (bronze), one loop lock installed in the handle, and two rivets. To install, you’ll need to remove the old handle by drilling out existing rivets (or otherwise removing them), align the new handle, and install the new rivets. A rivet tool (rivet gun) and possibly a drill may be required.

What signs indicate the handle needs replacement?

If you notice the handle is cracked, the tilt/lock mechanism slips, the loop lock won’t engage securely, or the lever feels loose or damaged, then replacement of the handle kit is recommended to restore safe and correct operation of the umbrella’s tilt system.

How do I maintain this part after installation to ensure long life?

After installing the new handle, periodically inspect the lever, loop lock and rivet area for corrosion, looseness or wear. Keep the mechanism clean of debris and ensure the umbrella is stored or covered appropriately when not in use, to reduce exposure to elements which may accelerate wear.
