Product Description
Ford F-150 4-Door Chrome Door Handle Covers with Keypad Access, No Passenger Keyhole, 8 Pieces, 2004-2014 (DH44308)
If your F-150 has an entry keypad on the door, a chrome cover kit has to leave room for it. DH44308 does. QAA's note reads "Includes Keypad access, Does not include Passenger Key access." The kit has eight pieces of polished chrome-plated ABS plastic, it is imported, and it is listed for the 2004-2014 Ford F-150 four-door pickup.
Two questions settle it
Does your truck have a door keypad? This kit has an opening for it. Does your passenger front door have a key cylinder? This kit does not include one. If your answers are yes and no, you are looking at the right kit.
If your passenger door does have a lock, DH44310 is noted "Includes Keypad access, Includes Passenger Key access," and it is otherwise listed for the same truck. Those notes are the difference the catalog records between the two eight-piece kits.
Other F-150 handle kits
For comparison, the cross-listed family also includes DH44302, a 4pc four-door kit with levers only and no surround pieces, plus two-door kits DH44305 (driver keypad and keyhole, no passenger keyhole) and DH44306 (no opening note in the catalog). The Fitment tab lists them all.
Fitment
Ford F-150, model years 2004 through 2014, eleven years, 4-door pickup truck.
Material
Molded ABS plastic, chrome plated and polished. The shaped covers surround each handle in bright chrome, and the keypad opening frames the buttons so they stay usable.
Install steps
On the 2004-2014 F-150, the eight pieces mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. Per QAA, it holds for a lifetime and causes no damage to the truck's surface.
- Wash and degrease all four F-150 handle areas, taking particular care around the keypad.
- Dry completely.
- Sort the eight pieces by door against the product photos; the catalog does not label them.
- Sort the eight F-150 covers by door with the photos before any of them is mounted. Dry-fit by hand and center the keypad opening.
- Press firmly, then move on to the other doors.
Let the tape cure before washing. The Installation tab has the full guide.
Side trim in the same family
Linked F-150 parts include AT44302 and AT44312, 10pc body side molding accent kits at 0.375 inches for the Super Cab with 6.5' and 8' beds and no flares, and MI44300, a 10pc body molding insert kit at 1.5 inches for the Super Cab with a 5.5' bed. More rocker, tailgate, and wheel well parts are linked by number.
Good conditions
Pick a dry, mild day and work out of direct sun. If the truck was recently waxed, degrease longer, since wax is the common cause of tape seating unevenly. Press each cover along its whole outline, not just the center, and let the truck sit overnight before driving in rain.
Keypad tip
After pressing the driver piece, test each keypad button once to make sure the opening sits evenly and nothing rubs.

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.
