GXP exterior door handles... plastic or metal?

Post by KKARSTEN »

Like the title says, just curious if the GXP chrome lined door handles are metal or plastic? Bought a reproduction set on ebay and they are plastic. They look nice but I always thought the GXPs I seen had metal handles.

They feel plastic to me. Or a super light pot metal.

Here is a pic I took of them. Looks like mostly plastic with a center metal brace for stiffness. I think.
