## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this an American made product?**
A: No, this is manufactured over seas. I don't believe there is an American made tailgate handle, even from GM.

**Q: Does this have a keyhole insert? I need one with a lock and key.**
A: This does not have a keyhole.  Only aftermarket type handles have a lock and key setup.

**Q: does this fit  05 avalanche**
A: NO, this is for the Silverado and Sierra NOT the Avalanche. The T1A Avalanche handle we are out of stock of currently but you can find it here when we have stock: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OL0EWUE

**Q: Does this come with bolts?**
A: Hello, sorry no bolts or hardware is included with the handle.  Those are separate items that have to be purchased from the hardware store or most likely the dealership.  Most customers use the hardware they are removing for the new install.  Thanks for the question.
