Storm Door

Question

Hi guys, my father has been having issues with his storm door. The house was built in 1998 and this storm door was there when it was built. The issues with this door are the clips that hold the glass up, became brittle and broke. So now my dad basically has just a screen window since the glass part always stays down (see picture). I was deciding on replacing the entire door, but I was told it's easier to just replace the glass or clips. I can't find the clips to save my life, and now am just looking for an entire window piece if that makes it easier. That's why I'm here. I found the PPG Herculite K in the corner of the glass and was hoping for some help.

PPG HERCULITE K
TEMPERED SAFETY GLASS
16CFR1201 CII
ANSI Z-97.1 - 1984 1/8U
SGCC-1605 3999
(sorry, that's what I see)

I originally just wanted to buy the clips, but if it's easier to just buy the whole window, fine. I would just like to fix this problem. Thank you so much for any help or information you can throw my way.
Oh, and while we're at it, the handle and knob need to be replaced as well.

Hello there!

Thanks for reaching out to us! For the handle set, I recommend the 40-177. Take a look at the specifications and see what you think.

I'm afraid we have bad news regarding the storm latches in your last photo. They were discontinued and are no longer available so we don't know of any substitutes, unfortunately. Hardware like this is a dying breed so it's getting very difficult to get matches for them. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
