Abstract
Abstract A strap handle is anchored in place by a retainer formed to straddle the end of the handle so that a fastener can be driven through a hole in the retainer and through the end of the handle into a mounting structure. The retainer has fins projecting outward along the edges of the strap handle, and an escutcheon plate shaped to cover the retainer and the end of the handle has internally opening slots to receive and slide over the retainer fins which are shaped to lock in the slots to hold the escutcheon plate in place.
