Will MI FLUSH MOUNT LATCH SET WITH NITE LOCK, 6-5/8"
Product Code: 82-085 fit on an MI Series 120 Slider? The stock handle sticks out too far and obstructs retractable screen.

Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, I don't believe the 82-085 or other box handle sets will work with this door. Can you confirm the hole spacing, or the distance between the center of each mounting hole, on your current handle set? Is it 3-15/16" or 4-15/16"? Either way, it's unlikely we'll find a handle set that can prevent obstruction of the blinds; unfortunately, door manufactures often don't consider screens and blinds when building these doors. We can still try just to be safe; just give me the hole spacing of your handle set and I can review your possible options. Thanks.
