The photos show both the inside and outside currently on the door. I want to replace the outside finger hole for a handle. No key. No way to open from the outside. No change to the inside. Please tell me what part number I should order.

Unfortunately, they don't make exterior pulls for this kind of door. These are interior-pull only. 

I know that's inconvenient, and I can't rightly tell you why these doors are designed that way, but that has been the case for many years. They just don't make it. To compound the issue, it's not possible to install alternative handles or locks on this door due to the fact that these are flush mount. Once you remove them, you have a huge rectangular hole in the door that precludes anything else from being installed.

The only option we can offer is to use an interior pull like our 88-002 and drill holes for it on the door frame itself, either above or below the lock. That's far from ideal, though, and I understand if that's not something you want to do.
