Ya, how many "door handles" have broke on you?
I'm up to 6 on 4 vehicles, 4 inside and 2 outside.
I haven't rewarded them for their poor build.
I drill and epoxy two steel pins on the inside handles and
put two stainless steel flat head screws in the outside handles.
Haven't had any repairs break. I'd almost recommend my outside door
handle repair as preventative.

If you're going to blame me for being rough on door handles, I'll
have to say it must be hereditary and spread by marriage. All 4
in my family has broke one and my son-in-law.
