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.

Hello,
I was looking at some posts and see that the 40-101 might work for me as it looks like I have the same handle as the person who posted this. Also like this post, my handle keep coming off. There is a small screw on the inside handle that keeps coming loose. I will try the loctite as you recommended, but I notice the replacement you recommend doesn't seem to have the same little screw to keep it fastened. Can you explain how the 40-101 handle stays attached? Thanks

Sure! The 40-101 stays attached using a hex bolt. It comes with an Allen wrench, as well, to help fasten it in place.
