Product Description
Smart Key Chrome Door Handle Covers for Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Silverado and Sierra, 8 Pieces (DH54196)
If your GM truck or SUV unlocks by touch, DH54196 is the handle kit built with that in mind. QAA's note says it "Includes four smart key access points - cut outs," so the chrome leaves the sensor spots open. The Escalade kit is eight pieces of polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, imported. The Escalade covers are fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Model list
Fitment rows, all four-door:
- Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL, each 2015-2020
- Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, each 2014-2018
The body field on every row reads SUV, pickup truck, Extended Cab and "1500 LD Model only," regardless of model. We have flagged that. For the pickups, the 1500 LD wording is the one to heed; call if your truck is a different series. The Fitment tab lists the rows as recorded.
Cut outs for four sensors
Four access points across eight covers means the kit has openings where keyless-entry sensors sit. The catalog does not specify which covers have the cut outs or mention a key cylinder opening, so study the photos and line them up against your own handles before buying.
The plain alternative
For handles without sensors, QAA lists DH54195, an 8pc chrome kit for the same vehicles, noted as not including passenger key access. Choose by what your handles have, not by price or looks alone.
Placing the cut-out covers
- Lay all eight covers out and find the four with cut outs.
- Hold each against its handle to confirm the opening frames the sensor.
- Place the remaining covers door by door.
Material
Each cover is ABS plastic molded to the handle's form, chrome-plated and polished. The factory handles keep working underneath.
Mounting
QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Wash, degrease and dry every handle. After the dry fit, set each cover and press it firmly along all edges. Then walk around and test keyless entry at each sensor while covers can still be lifted and reset. The Installation tab has full prep steps.
Placement aid
Painter's tape strips around each dry-fitted cover give you a target for the final press, which matters because foam tape grabs on contact.
Why it matters
A solid cover would sit over a keyless-entry sensor. With cut outs, the new look leaves the way you unlock the vehicle unchanged.
A front door first
Begin with a front door on the Escalade. Fit its covers, test the sensor, step back to judge the alignment, and then continue around the vehicle in one direction. Working this way keeps the eight similar pieces in order and turns the first door into a template for the rest.
Conditions and care
Install on a dry, mild day out of direct sun and keep the vehicle dry overnight. Wash later with mild soap and a soft towel, never abrasive pads.

Installation tips: Door Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 8 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.
