Looking for replacement storm door handle

Hello,

My home was built in 1960 and has the original storm doors and handles/latches. One of the handle's plastic tongue has broken off. Here are pictures of an intact handle.

Do you have any suitable replacements which match this handle?

Thanks,
-Pete

Hi Pete,

Unfortunately, we don't carry an exact replacement for this latch but take a look at our 40-051 and 40-052 to see if the dimensions of one of these options could work for you. Thanks for posting!

Hello,

I did try handles which look identical to those you suggested, however the screw holes are not in the correct location. I'd need to drill new holes a bit closer to the edge of the door in order for the latch to catch. Also the plunger mechanism from the outside part of the handle is too large for those replacement handles, so I'd need to replace the outside handle.

Thanks

I don't believe your inside handle is still available but take a look at the standard handle 40-034. We also have the pull-up type handles, such as the 40-152 and 40-215, which unlock by pulling the handle upward on the outside of the door. We also carry the lever type like the 40-130 and 40-131 that also have a deadbolt lock at the bottom of the handle. Take a look at all of these handles that have the 1-3/4" mounting holes that I believe should match your dimensions. Take a look and see what you think!
