The 40-198 is used in many, many different storm doors. It's not made for any one specific door. However I don't believe it's compatible with Andersen brand hardware, so just based on the information provided I don't think it's what you want.

I'm just guessing, though. In order to confirm, I need photos of your original hardware removed from the door. I will also require detailed written dimensions. We need a solid reference with which to work. I can then either tell you if our 40-198 is a good pick or, if not, whether we sell anything that is.

All the dimensions shown with 40 198 are the same, except the hole for the keyed dead bolt assembly. As you can see it is key shaped. Thx

Thanks for confirming. Have you seen our 40-194 yet? This has a very similar design to our 49-198 except it has that key-shaped hole for the lock. The only other difference, which may or may not be significant, is that it has a backset of 7/8" instead of 13/16". You should double check that to ensure that this wouldn't be a better match.
