The invention relates to a handle (e.g., a fixed handle, rotary handle, or swivel lever handle) particularly with a lock insert or the like or escutcheon for mounting in a preferably thin wall (e.g., a sheet metal cabinet door leaf, sheet metal drawer front, or sheet metal box lid). Wherein the handle has a longitudinal extension at whose ends is arranged at least one fastening means (e.g., a screw, nut, hook fastening or clip-in fastening). The lock insert includes a housing with a collar in the vicinity of its front end, and a receiving space for the front end of the housing with the collar is provided at this end of the handle in the vicinity of the fastening means proceeding from the contact surface contacting the thin wall, this receiving space passing through the handle to the front side of the handle while changing in cross section.
