Buying Guide
Five Tips for Buying Door Hardware
Theres nothing that enhances style and function quite like new door hardware. Its the first thing that catches the eye at the front door, and it feels good in hand throughout the home. Here are five tips to simplify the buying process.
What are the different types of door hardware?
Privacy hardware is designed for bedrooms and bathrooms, locking with turnbuttons and not requiring keys.
Passage knobs and levers are designed for hallway doors, laundry rooms and closet doors that latch but dont lock.
Dummy knobs and levers are decorative hardware pieces designed for pantry doors or other doors that only require a pull to open, with no latch or lock.
What safety features are available?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) sets different grades for door hardware, such as Grade 1 (basic), Grade 2 (intermediate), and Grade 3 (highest). These days, with more and more intruders using "bump keys"--a key that can open almost any lock--or locksmith tools once intended only to resolve accidental lockouts, many manufacturers offer bump-resistant cylinders.
Will it fit my door?
- Standard doors are either 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inches thick, with most hardware designed to adjust for either. Extension kits are available for thicker doors.
View larger - Most hardware is interchangeable, only requiring that the backset (the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the knob or lock, usually 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches) matches the hole(s) in the door so that the latch or bolt throws properly. Some hardware sets adjust for both backset lengths.
- Levers come in both left- and right-handed models. To determine the appropriate handing, look at the doors hinges from outside the door. If the hinges are on the left, youll need a left-handed lever. If the hinges are on the right, you need a right-handed lever.
Can I install it myself?
Most door hardware, including keypads and deadbolts, installs in under an hour with only a Philips screwdriver. Most keypads are powered by batteries, so no wiring is required. Handlesets sometimes require a drill. If the door or doorframe is not predrilled, door hardware usually comes with a paper template to mark holes for drilling and sawing with common spade bits and hole saws. Specialized tool sets also are available for door-hardware installation.If you want to use one key on multiple entry handles or deadbolts, you will need a locksmith to "re-key" all the locks to the same key. This should be done before installation and only will work if all the hardware comes from the same manufacturer.
What cool hardware features are available nowadays?
Keypad locks and deadbolts let you add and delete numerous user codes as needed, providing family members, neighbors, baby- or pet-sitters with easy-to-remember codes. Cool for parents and great for keeping kids out of cleaning closets and utility rooms, some keypads have auto-lock mechanisms that lock after a few seconds in case you forget.
Once used only for government applications (as depicted in high-tech spy movies), biometric keyless entry systems, which scan dozens of different fingerprints for easy access, also are growing in popularity.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I researched getting a factory replacement but it was way too much $$$. Almost $150 for a storm door latch? Nnnnope. Looked at my local home improvement stores but nobody stocked anything that fit this door. I saw the latch here and it looked like it would fit the bill. Checked reviews and a poster said they needed to drill the door to get it to fit but I'm pretty handy so that didn't stop me. Looked good for the price too.
It came quickly and it appeared as solid and heavy as the original with a quality latch. I was pleasantly surprised when it fit the predrilled holes and slot PERFECTLY. Even lined up with the strike plate. What's not to like?! 15 mins later and I was done, no drilling required. Shiny new, quality handle with a latch that closed and catches every time. It also passed the cat test!
If you need a quality replacement for your older Pella storm door then this is what you are looking for. Less than 1/2 the price with function, fit and finish that rivals the original.
I had great success. My door is an EMCO "the Forever view". It has a silver sticker with red writing on it that says US Patent 5039246. My serial number is A 858197. It's a full view door that has a full length glass panel that is removable/swappable with a screen panel.
When I tried to find the Andersen replacement handle set for my door, it appears to be discontinued on the Andersen site. The door itself still functions well. It's just that the original EMCO handle/latch/lock hardware is garbage. The latch mechanism wears out after a couple of years of use and doesn't close properly; it seems to stick and the door stays slightly ajar which defeats the purpose of a storm door! I replaced the handle/latch/lock hardware kit once before, ordering it from EMCO and it cost a lot back then (10 years ago); close to $80 dollars with shipping if I remember correctly.
You will need to do some minor modifications to get this kit to work with the EMCO "the Forever view" door, but it's not difficult. If you're willing to invest about an hour of your time and have the right tools (a drill, an assortment of metal drill bits, a metal file or dremel, some pliers and a Phillips screwdriver), it's rather easy if you're a handyman or motivated to take on the challenge.
Here are the detailed instructions for the modifications I made to my EMCO "the Forever door" so that the Wright hardware fit properly:
1) The Wright outside handle plate is longer than the EMCO original. The plate also has bolt stems that insert into the door, which is good because that improves the integrity of the latch system in the door; making it stronger. To adapt the door to the external plate I did the following:
a) Enlarged the upper hole from the original EMCO door outside plate so that the new Wright plate upper bolt stem would fit snugly into the door.
b) Put some ink on the lower bolt stem for the new Wright plate hardware and then lined up the upper screen stem with the upper hole and
making sure that the plate was properly vertically aligned and parallel with the door, pressed the lower stem against the door frame so that the
ink left a mark on the door frame indicating an accurate location to drill a new hole. As mentioned, the new Wright plate is longer, so the bottom
plate bolt stem requires a new hole to be drilled. Note: For the bottom hole, since it's a new hole, you'll need to drill the hole all the way through
the door so the internal plate bolt can pass through the door and be secured to the external plate.
2) Once I had modified the door so the Wright external door plate fit properly, I needed to make some adjustments to the opening in the side of the door that internal latch system fits into:
a) If you follow the instructions above for installing the Wright external handle/latch/lock plate, when you go to insert the internal latch/lock
mechanism into the door it will sit just slightly too high to align properly with the the external/internal plate bolt holes/bolts. To adjust it so it
sits a little lower down in the door frame, I filed the bottom of the opening of the hole where it is inserted. The top and bottom edges of the
cut-out in the side of the door are rounded. I filed the bottom rounded corners so that they were square. After doing that, the internal latch
mechanism fit into the door so that it properly aligned with the external door plate bolt screw holes. Takes no more than a minute or two to
file this out by hand. A dremel would probably do it in seconds.
b) Once you have the internal latch mechanism fit and aligned properly, test it by temporarily installing the external and internal plates and bolts
with the internal latch mechanism installed in the door. For my door I had to use pliers to break off the last two of the tabs of the dead-bolt/key
shaft that runs from the external plate into the internal plate before the internal handle/latch plate would sit flush against the door. Use the
medium length bolts to attach the internal and external plates together. Once you have the plates and internal latch mechanism installed, attach
one of the door handles to the handle post (tighten the Allen screw with the included Allen key) and insert it into the external door plate hole.
Test the latch mechanism to make sure that when you move the handle it moves freely.
c) With the internal and external plates temporarily installed, and the partially assembled handle post holding the internal latch mechanism in the
correct positioning, mark and drill the new holes needed to attach the internal latch mechanism plate to the opening in the side of the door.
Ensure you adjust the internal latch mechanism in the door so that it is centered in the door. Then mark the centre of the two holes in the
internal latch mechanism plate. I used a metal punch to make a small indentation at the centre of the hole so that my drill bit would sit dead
center and not drift when drilling the holes. Tip: Always start with a drill bit that is much smaller than the threads of the screw that you will be
installing. You can test the screw and if it's too tight, you can always enlarge the whole with the next drill bit size up. The screw should fit very
snugly when you screw it into the hole so the latch mechanism is properly secured.
d) Once you have the internal latch mechanism plate holes drilled and the plate secured attached to the door with the screws, you'll need to
remove the internal and external plates and the external handle and handle bar and refer back to the Wright instructions that come with the kit
to properly install the door handle external and internal teflon washers and secure it to the plate. You can then continue following the Wright
instructions to complete assembling and attaching the internal/external door plates and door handles to the door.
3) I was able to reuse the original EMCO striker plate on the door frame. It was nicer than the one that comes with the Wright kit. Because I reused the upper hole of the old EMCO external door plate, I didn't need to move the old EMCO striker plate. Hopefully if you've followed the instructions above, it'll work out the same way for you. The new Wright door latch mechanism and dead-bolt line up with the slots in the old EMCO door striker plate. However, there isn't a lot of play and it's a bit tight, so to be safe I took off the old EMCO door striker plate and filed the bottom of the top latch opening so that it was about 1/16" bigger and lower. That gave me enough additional room that the latch mechanism and dead bolt move freely into and out of the door frame striker plate without any friction. It also gave me a little breathing room in case my new internal latch mechanism was slightly higher or lower once it was installed in the door. Once you've filed the striker plate install it back into the door frame and test the door latch and dead-bolt lock to make sure they move into the striker plate easily without any friction.
Hopefully the above instructions work for you. Be sure to read these instructions through completely before attempting your door customization. Your set-up could be slightly different than mine so I would recommend you review the instructions and do an assessment of your own situation before doing any door customization. A dress rehearsal that assesses things before you actually start to do the modifications to your door will avoid unwanted surprises later on. Take your time and adjust as necessary and you should be fine.
The new Wright handle/latch/lock hardware looks great and I agree with the other reviewer's comments that it is much sturdier than the original EMCO hardware. Hopefully, this hardware will out-live my old EMCO door. But, if it doesn't, now that my door has been modified to take the Wright hardware, replacing it next time should be a snap.
After putting in the new hardware, I used a Mr Clean magic sponge to buff up the old EMCO door. It looks brand new now. Saved me over $700 for a new door (which I had been considering), Very happy I took the gamble and did the "Wright" thing :-)
Hopefully the above instructions will encourage others to save their old EMCO door from salvage yard!
The hardware on my door was stamped EMTEK 322. Because a review mentioned model #322 I gave the Wright set a try.
I have just completed installing the replacement. Removal of the old lockset should be straight forward and simple. Several brass screws and it will come apart. Except, my handle was attached with either a corroded or odd ball allen screw. I ended up using an angle grinder to cut thru the solid brass handle in order to get my lockset apart.
First impressions are that the replacement set by Wright isnt quite the quality of my older EMTEK. Parts are not as substantial or as heavy as the old ones. That said, the Wright product does appear to be decently made. I am not unhappy with the quality so far.
It took me about half an hour to get thru the instructions and make some sense of them. There is no installation template provided, which ended up causing me a little more work.
I put the 'outside' part of the lockset in place and discovered that the holes did not quite match up. Also, the new set had posts that are designed to seat into holes in the door. Posts are 5/16" in diameter. Bottom line is the old screw holes did not 'quite' match up to where the new posts go. It was close, but required me to drill two 5/16 in. holes to fit the posts into the door. Luckily, the mounting holes for the lock mechanism that slides into the edge of the door were close enough to work without redrilling. With the outside parts in place and the door mechanism in place, I began to install the inside coverplate and handle. The old inside coverplate had been attached with two brass screws, one on top and one on the bottom. The new lockset requires a threaded brass machine screw to extend thru the door and screw into the posts that are on the outside coverplate. Again, the old screw holes did not quite match up. With a little work I drilled new and larger holes to accomodate the brass machine screws and installed the inside cover plate and door handle.
I should mention that the cylinder spindle has to be cut to the correct length to match the width of the door. My door is 1 1/4" wide. The spindle is segmented and provides notches to make the process easier. Instructions provide a diagram...but, after carefully cutting it per instructions, it was still slightly too long making it impossible for the inside coverplate to fit. I had to grind it down an additional 1/32 inch, and then the cover plate fit perfectly.
Because I live in humid Florida, I additionally smathered every interior and moving part I could find with liberal amounts of vasoline.
Bottm line - Lockset looks great and my old Larson door looks almost new again. Installation took several hours and required a good drill set and some patience and ingenuity, nothing most weekend handy persons can't handle.
