Hello! I am familiar with this storm door handle set, but the bad news is that these haven't been made in a long time. As such, we don't sell an exact match for any of the parts you show here. The good news is that we can still help. There are plenty of modern equivalents that work just as well, so we can definitely get your door operational again.

Since the problem here is just a drooping handle, then odds are you can get away with only replacing the internal handle. This is what contains the spring that flips the handle back to an upright position, so replacing that should get everything else functional agian.

My top recommendation is the 40-150. This is a lever handle very similar in design to your original and can accept two different sized spindles: either 3/16" or 5/16". I feel confident that this will be compatible with your exterior handle, but note that it may not be precisely compatible with your keeper. With that in mind you may also want to consider a new 40-081 to go with it, but it's up to you. The 40-150 may very well work perfectly fine with the original.

Please let me know if you had any questions and I would be happy to assist!
