i need a replacement latch for the inside of an out-swinging storm door. should be easy, right? nope! my latch has a rod between the outside handle and the inside latch. none of the universal latches i've seen can accommodate the rod system. [though they fit in every other way.] can you help?

We can try! Let's start out by getting a few pictures of your setup, especially that rod. Hopefully by seeing what you have we can come up with a solution.

I think our 40-150 may be what you want. This has an insert that can accept 1/8" spindles, but it can be removed so that it can then accept much larger 3/8" spindles. Could that work for you?

The only thing that makes me hesitate is that it looks like yours has a locking feature while ours doesn't. If you do need a locking mechanism, you will have to install an additional lock. See our 40-039.

DAVE!!!
you are aces!
i just ordered the 40-150.
it will be fine without the locking mechanism.
[i hope.]
you have a return policy, of course.
can't wait to install it.
thanks a bunch!
