Hello. Your website looks great, and you seem very knowledgeable. I am about to purchase inside handle 40-150 from your site to replace the broken Cmech one on our storm door, but I cannot find any 3/8" square spindles on your website. Do you have any measuring 3/8" squared by 3" to 4" inches in length? Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello! Thanks again for your patience, and your compliments. Hopefully we can live up to our reputation.

The 40-150 will take a 3/8" size spindle once the insert is removed, but I'm afraid we do not carry that size spindle ourselves. To be honest, it's fairly uncommon. You could possibly check with a local hardware store and see if they can supply you with a piece of 3/8" stock steel bar which you can cut down for a spindle. That said, I'm not sure you will be happy using the 40-150 as a replacement for your inside handle. If I remember correctly, the Cmech handle pushes to unlatch the door, whereas the 40-150 needs to be turned. You might need to contact the manufacture of the door, which I believe is EMCO / Forever Doors, and see if they still can supply you with a replacement handle.
