Interior Door Handle manual/power

[MacktasticSlick]

So I need all new interior door handles, and I'm looking at RockAuto, and the one for a door with manual locks is less than 2 bucks, but the ones for power locks are more than 10. I have power locks but was wondering if anyone knows what the difference is on the rear of the handles to warrant such a price difference? Or if I can "cheat" and use the manual ones. If I can save 32 bucks for all 4 I'm all for it thanks in advance.

The Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog talks of a interior handle type A and type B - not sure if that is referring to ones w/power door locks and ones without. Different part numbers though.

Might be easier to just go to a dealership or autoparts store and have them bring out one of each, so that you are inspect them on the spot.

I just checked mine. Type A is without door lock switch on the handle. Type B is with. B is only for cars with power door lock but not power windows. All others use A. The rear is always A.

The parts number are
6920[5|6]-020[5|6]0
The first 5 is RH, 6 is LH
The second 5 is type A, 6 is type B.

There is a suffix for color. Check with dealer.

Oh ok because the pictures they put up were the same... I didn't understand what could have been different on the backside of the handles. I've seen some handles that have the locks as part of the handle, but those weren't pictured. So since my handles are the same on the front and rear I need A right? Color doens't matter since I'm painting them.

The handle with the power lock has an oval hole that is vertical. The hole is towards the front side of the car. It holds the switch for the power lock.

edit: I just looked at rockauto and they seem to have like three different prices. Some were $1.40, some were just over $5 and some were just over $10.

I bought four tan ones on ebay for $20 shipped. They were cheap chinese products and broke very soon.

Maybe the ones for $10 are close to OEM that Toyota used.

You might check at the stealership..... some times you get lucky and things arent as high priced as you would think.
