Screen Door Handle

If you need to replace your screen door handle, the nice thing about it is that many different types of handle can be substituted.

Even kitchen cabinet handles can be used in a pinch. But its best to stick with a proper screen handle if you want your screen door to slide in between glass panels on your patio door.

Usually the door handle is only necessary on the inside because screen doors often have a vertical fin on the outside that serves as a handle.

Some screen doors use handles that incorporate a lock for the screen door as well. If you cant find the proper handle with the lock it may be better to find a surface mount lock with a handle to replace the existing one.

Some screen doors have come up with interesting ways to mount handles. One of the more popular screen doors uses a handle that slides in a track that runs from the top to the bottom of the screen door.

The handle itself works as a lock, that is until it breaks off. But even these handles can be replaced with a simple screen door handle from Lowe's or the Home Depot, and if you want the lock, those same stores often have locks that work far better anyway.

Some of the better screen doors have handles and locks that are virtually the same as those used on your patio door. When these break its also easy to add on a second handle if the the original manufacturers handle cant be found.
