If you are in the market for a new storm door handle, there are several important things you should know before you begin shopping…
- The thickness of your door - Most storm doors will range anywhere from 1″ to 1-1/2″ in thickness. Be sure you know this dimension before you start shopping.
- Mortise vs. Surface Mount - This one can be tricky to understand. For a quick and clear cut explanation of the difference, see the video below:
- Hole pattern - If you’re like most people, you are probably buying a new handle set to replace an old one. If this is the case, you’ve already got some holes drilled in your door, and you want to be sure that the new handle set you buy will cover up those existing holes. It may also be advantageous to know this information so you can determine if you’ll need to drill any new holes for your new hardware. When shopping for your new hardware set, look for a detailed line drawing or trim plate footprints that you can use to compare to your old handle set.
