Product Description
Ford F-150 and Super Duty 12-Piece Chrome Handle Kit with Base Surrounds and Smart Key Access (DH55309)
Twelve pieces is a lot of chrome for four door handles, and that is the point of DH55309. QAA notes that the kit "Includes Base Surround," so the trim behind each handle gets dressed along with the handle itself. Two smart key access points are built in, and passenger key access is not included.
Why twelve
The catalog doesn't break down what each piece is, so here is only what the notes support. Handle covers plus base surrounds explain why the count is far above the four-piece kit for the same trucks. Lay the photos beside your truck to see how the pieces divide before you start.
Keyless entry
Smart key access points are cutouts that keep a handle's touch sensor exposed, so the truck still locks and unlocks by touch with chrome over the handle. This kit has two. QAA's data doesn't say which handles they go on, so find them during the dry fit and confirm each one lines up with a sensor. The passenger side has no key cylinder opening.
Fitment
- Ford F-150, 2015-2020, 4-door pickup truck
- Ford F-250 & F-350 Super Duty, 2017-2022, 4-door pickup truck
- Ford F-250 & F-350 Super Duty, 2017-2020, 4-door pickup truck
The two Super Duty rows give different end years. We have flagged it. Both agree on 2017 through 2020, so for anything later, call first. The Fitment tab mirrors these rows.
Compared with DH55308
The smaller option is DH55308, four chrome pieces whose only note is that passenger key access is not included. It has no base surround or smart key note. If you want the fuller look, or your handles have touch sensors, DH55309 is the kit whose notes cover both.
Material
Polished, chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported; each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Installing twelve pieces
With this many parts, organization saves time. Sort the pieces by door on a towel first. Wash and degrease each handle and surround area, and let it dry. Use the photos to decide the order on each door; if a surround sits behind a handle cover, place the surround first. Dry-fit, mark the spots with painter's tape, then press every piece down firmly. Test the two smart key handles immediately. The Installation tab has the detailed prep steps.
Pair it with pillar trim
For the Super Cab and Crew Cab, QAA lists 4pc pillar post sets (check each listing for its finish): PP55309 includes the keyless entry touch pad, and PP55308 does not. If your door pillar has a keypad, PP55309 is the one noted for it. Regular cab pillar sets PP55306 and PP55307 are listed for 2-door trucks.
Weather and care
Install in mild, dry weather out of direct sun and keep the truck dry overnight. Wash later with mild soap and a soft towel. Abrasives scratch plating.

Installation tips: Door Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 12 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
