Sears Storm door parts

A quick learner from Maryland says:

I have 2 Sears storm doors, model #948.65111271 and #948.65113271 I need the handle and Latch assembly for both. The kit number from Sears is 17656. The doors are 1 5/8" thick, the 2 outer mounting holes a 1 3/4" on center apart.

Thank you for your help,

Steve

Hi Steve,

As you may know, Sears has been out of the storm door business for quite some time. We'd be happy to research replacement options for you but we would need to see photos of your original handle sets to compare to ours. Thank you!

Thank you. Unfortunately, this handle set is discontinued and there is no replacement available unless you are willing to modify your door.

If you don't need outside key access, I would suggest using the 40-130 or the 40-131 latch and deadbolt. Or, if you do want key access, look at the 40-058 or the 40-177 handles. However, replacing this handle set, you will need to drill new holes to accept the key and deadbolt. Thanks for posting!

Can you tell me if these handles come with the strikes or not?

Of the four options we related for you, the 40-130 and 40-131 come with keepers.

Unfortunately, we do not carry an exact replacement for the discontinued Sears assembly shown in this thread but the handle and deadbolt sets we've related on this page would be our best replacement options. Please note that modifications may be necessary depending on how the specifications shown on our product pages compare to yours.
