Sliding glass door replacement handles

Hello there. Hm, I'm afraid they don't actually make an exterior pull for your type of patio glass door. You say the door is hard to open, did you adjust the bottom roller on the door? You could even try lubricating the track. Another thought is to try to install and pull like the 88-009 on the exterior, but you'll need to make sure you have the clearance between the glass and your sliding screen door for this to work. Also, you will need to install the handle above or below your existing handle set. That way, you will not interfere with the locking mechanism. If you do opt to do this, you'll have to drill for the screw hole locations; be very careful that you don't damage the glass or the door. Let me know what you think.
