Screen & Storm Door Handles

Screen & storm door handles are small upgrades that make a big difference in comfort, curb appeal, and everyday security. A good handle delivers smooth operation, better grip in all seasons, and a reliable latch that keeps drafts and pests out. Whether you’re replacing a worn set or upgrading finishes to match your entry hardware, you’ll find options that fit common door thicknesses and hole patterns, with styles ranging from classic push-button to modern lever and mortise sets. Many models include adjustable strike plates and reversible handing to suit left- or right-swing doors, making selection and installation straightforward for DIYers.

Materials and finishes matter for durability. Look for powder‑coated aluminum, zinc alloy, or stainless steel components for corrosion resistance, especially in coastal or high‑humidity locations. UV-stable finishes preserve color, while solid construction reduces flex and rattling in windy conditions. For added security, choose handles with integrated deadbolts or keyed locks, and pair them with a properly aligned latch and strike for a tight, quiet close.

To help you pick the right handle, consider:
- Handle type: surface‑mount latch, mortise set, push‑button, or lever for easier operation.
- Screw hole spacing: measure center‑to‑center distance on your existing handle to ensure a match.
- Door thickness: verify compatibility; many kits include spacers for fine‑tuning.
- Handing: confirm left or right swing; many sets are reversible.
- Finish and style: coordinate with hinges, closers, and entry hardware for a cohesive look.
- Weather resistance: sealed springs, rust‑proof fasteners, and sturdy strikes for long service life.

Installation is typically simple: remove the old handle, confirm measurements, drill or reuse holes, and secure the new set using the included template and screws. A quick alignment of the latch and strike will eliminate sticking and improve the seal. With the right screen or storm door handle, you’ll enjoy smoother entry, better energy performance, and a cleaner, more polished doorway that stands up to daily use.
