The invention discloses a handle type lock life detection device, relates to the field of lock detection, and aims to solve the technical problem concerned with lock durability detection. The technical scheme is characterized in that the handle type lock life detection device comprises a detection table, wherein the detection table is provided with fixing mechanisms for fixing locks to be detected; the fixing mechanisms comprise brackets; the brackets are provided with tripods for fixing the brackets; one side of each bracket is provided with a proximity switch for detecting lock times; the detection table is also provided with key mechanisms and handle mechanisms; the handle mechanisms comprise fixing columns and clamping mechanisms; the fixing columns are provided with rodless cylinders;the clamping mechanisms comprise L-shaped push sheets to be pushed by pushing bodies; the key mechanisms comprise rotating cylinders for driving keys to rotate; and the rotating cylinders are provided with clamping block assemblies for clamping the keys. Through the adoption of the handle type lock life detection device, the effect of detecting the durability of locks on railway passenger trainsis achieved.
