Screen Door Latch & handle assembly

Home Owner from Tinley Park , Illinois

Can you help identify e replacement latch & handle assembly ? Believe it's a NORCO Sliding Screen door from a patio door assembly. From about early '80s. I recently bought replacement rollers # 84-002M on order # 1270955 ,if that helps to identify. Thanks for your help. Jerome

It's tough to tell from these photos, but it looks like your handle installs on the side of the frame, rather than on the front of it like most screen door handles. If I'm right, then I think you should consider our 84-223. Look it over and let me know if you agree.

I wish I could have sent a clearer picture. The screen door is installed on the room side of the sliding door.The handle is mounted on the room side of the frame , not the edge. That's the rectangular hole in picture 1. You can see the spring latch , which goes thru the edge of the frame , in the empty hole where the plastic handle fell out. The handle is mounted on the inner (room) side of the frame. Thanks so far. Hope this helps. Jerry Paluch

Ooooh, I see. I guess I was a little thrown off since I don't see any screw holes. Does it just plug in? I'm afraid we don't have anything that quite works that way. Most of our screen door handles area intended to work as repair parts, so they're a little more generalized. The reason for this is because screen door styles are discontinued all the time and it's just easier to supply more generic parts. If yours plugs in it is likely made for this specific kind of door.

If you are willing to drill new holes on the face of the door, you could potentially get our 83-002 to work. This has a similar kind of "cross" spring latch. Otherwise, it's basically just two flat pieces of plastic, so it can work on a ton of different doors. Let me know what you think.
