Forever Door latch

Question

The handle on the door latch on my EMCO Forever Door storm door is broken. The door serial number is 1054390 and the part number is 6890. The mounting screw holes are 1 3/4 apart. The door is discontinued and I have not been able to find a replacement. An exact replacement would be great but not necessary as long as it works. Can you help me?

On your website I found a latch with product code 40-145 but I am not sure if it will work. Any help you can give me will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Ron

This old Forever door latch isn't made anymore, to my knowledge. We also don't have an ideal 1:1 replacement handle.

The best part in our inventory, in my opinion, is the 40-150. This should work on your door but you will have to shim out the 40-150 so that it will latch correctly. The old handle is just a little too tall compared to our part.
