    I have a standard fridge kegerator with two taps coming out the door. One has Sierra Nevada Pale ale on now and the other is a homebrew. I'm using rather short tap handles I made myself because a regular Sierra Nevada or other commercial tap handle is so long, the top hits back against the fridge and won't fully shut the faucet. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    I'm looking for an easy fix that doesn't require drilling new holes in the fridge at a downward angle.

    Get longer shanks / spacers. Try Micromatic.com

    Much easier than shanks.

    Thanks billandsuz, that's perfect. Now I can put some tap handles to good use!
