Can you replace this old Cole Sewell door handle?

Question

I too have an old Cole Sewell storm door that needs the handle replaced. I could easily replace the whole door but I really like the design of this one better than the new ones I see! I browsed through some similar posts but I didn't see one exactly like mine and I didn't want to order one that doesn't quite fit so here are pics of my handle, inside and out. I need both. Thanks!

Thank you for your patience during this busy season. We've been swamped due to inclement weather.

Cole Sewell has been out of business for a long time, so you won't be able to find an exact match anywhere on the market. The good news is that we sell a ton of different products that will work in the same capacity. In most cases there will be some handiwork involved, but there's no way to avoid that these days. The older parts just aren't made anymore.

The top of my list is probably going to be our 40-130. This looks like it matches the original handle set fairly closely and I think would be a perfectly suitable replacement. Look it over and see what you think.
