I found your company online, I can't believe you are in Camden NJ!

I have an EMCO Forever Security Storm door that I installed over 25 years ago. The door is in great working order, but the lock no longer works.

I am forwarding pictures of the cylinder and the handle set.

The door handle set is 7 inches long.

I noticed on your site that you were recommending a specific replacement model 40-049 for one person who seems to have the same handle as my door.

The 40-049 is 1/8 larger than mine. It is 6 5/8" instead 6 1/2".

The distance from the bottom screw to mid handle is 4 1/2".

Would this one work?

Any assistance would be appreciated

I'm familiar with this part. I don't believe this lock is still available, unfortunately. What I have done in the past was replace the handle with the 40-049 complete handle set. Could that work for you?

Good morning the 40-049 is 1/8 larger than the one currently on my door. It measures 6-5/8 instead 6-1/2.

The distance from the bottom screw to mid handle is 4-1/2.

Would 40-049 be an appropriate replacement?

I'm afraid I haven't been able to find anything closer to your dimensions. Would you be able to drill new holes to accommodate the different size?
