A quick learner from Nj says:

My roommate is trying to fix the handle. It keeps falling off. We keep sticking it back on. Is there a way to fix it. I will post pics of handle. Thanks so much

It looks like your storm door is an older style EMCO/Forever storm door from around 1992. I don't believe this exact handle is still available, unfortunately. 

You say the handle keeps falling off. If it is the handle that's the problem, take a look at the 40-101. This set might fit your door handle but review our dimensions just to be sure.

If it's a problem with the mortise, though, then you might have to consider an all new handle set. Take a look at the complete 40-049 set for a possible modern replacement for your older hardware.

One last thought is that you might be having trouble with the set screw coming loose in the handles. If so, you can try using "Loctite" on the screw threads. You should be able to pick it up at a hardware store in your area.
