I had to use my old retainer pins cuz the ones supplied with these were too big diameter to fit in the hole. This wasn't a big deal for me on this install but I could see it being a pain if you didn't have the old ones.

The handles look really nice!

Great parts. These look really nice, and sure beat looking at my old ones. Pretty easy to install also.

I read as many of the helpful hints in the forum as I could and then jumped in .. slowly. Getting the old ones out took a little doing (drilled a little from each end and used a center punch) but I was able to get both pins out without breaking them. I tried to file down the new pin and bore out the new hole... and it still took me 45 min to get the new pin in flush. Then I had a great idea to use the old pin in the other handle. Only took about 10 min of gentle tapping to get the pin in.
