1998 Empire Pacific Industries Slider Handle Replace Parts

Question

Seeking replacement parts for an 1998 Empire Pacific Industries Patio Glass Slider Door handle. The exterior handle (lower section) is tearing, thus the handle is bending off. The only product information I have is that it is either a Series 4100 or 5100 vinyl replacement window by Empire Pacific Industries (Cascade Windows). The handles are the same shape on the interior and exterior.

Hello! This old handle set isn't made anymore, but you should be able to use our 82-030 as a replacement. This has a 3-15/16" hole center spacing, which should match your own, and it will be compatible with your original mortise.

One thing to note is that if your handles are tearing off at the base, then it's usually a sign that the wheels aren't rolling properly. You should give the bottom track a once-over just to be safe. Look for any dents, cracks, or damage, clean up any debris, and lubricate the track and wheels just to be safe. Your door should open very easily with just a gentle touch.
