Screen, Patio, Storm Door and Window Hardware

A broken latch or worn roller can make a good door frustrating to use. If the rest of the door is in good condition, a matching replacement part may be all you need.

DK Hardware stocks the replacements from Wright Products, Ideal Security, Larson, Screen Tight, CRL, Brixwell, FHC, Prime-Line and Truth, sold one at a time for a homeowner's fix or by the pack for a property crew. Find your door or window below, match the part and order it today.

Which Storm Door Hardware Parts Fail First?

Closers and latches take the beating on a storm door, because they work every time someone walks through. Start with the symptom, then grab the part that fixes it.

Pick a heavy-duty closer for a wide or heavy door, or one that faces the prevailing wind. A standard-duty closer handles most residential storm doors. Hinges, hinge pins, push bars, latches with keepers and door chains for the same doors are in hinged screen and storm door hardware.

Storm Door Latch Hardware: In-Swing or Out-Swing?

Check which way the door opens before you order storm door latch hardware, because handle sets aren't interchangeable. The Ideal Security BKISW in-swing handle set, for example, fits left or right in-swinging doors from 7/8 to 1-1/2 inches thick with 1-3/4-inch screw hole spacing. It can't replace an out-swing handle. Most screen storm door hardware works the same way, so measure three things off the old set:

• Screw hole spacing, center to center
• Door thickness at the handle
• Swing direction: in or out, left or right

What Screen Door Hardware Does Your Door Need?

Hinged and sliding screen doors use different parts, so start with the door type.

Hinged Wood and Vinyl Screen Doors

Hanging a new wood screen door, or redoing an old one? A screen door hardware kit gets everything in one order. The Screen Tight SDHWT in white and SDHBK in black each include three hinges, a non-operable knob, a pull lever and an eye-hook latch in corrosion-resistant poly, sized for wood and solid vinyl screen doors.

When only the catch has failed, buy the screen door latch hardware by itself. Latches with keepers and replacement hinges are in the hinged screen and storm door range above.

Sliding and Patio Screen Doors

Sliding screen door hardware comes down to two parts: the rollers that carry the frame and the latch that holds it shut.

• Rollers. The Brixwell 10-396 spring roller assembly has a nylon wheel for standard sliding screens. For patio screen door hardware, the Brixwell 900-12879A roller pair and the Ideal Security BK914 zinc rollers come in packs of 2. Shop all screen door rollers.
• Latches and pulls. The CRL A202 latch and pull has automatic locking notches, and the A203 strike matches it. See screen door pulls and latches.
• Screen repair. Rescreening the frame while it's off? Screen spline comes in 100-foot rolls in window glazing vinyl and spline, along with the roller tool to set it.

How Do You Match Patio Door Hardware to Your Slider?

Patio door hardware is sold by measurement, not by look. Measure the part you're replacing and match it to the listing. For rollers, measure the track groove too, because a worn wheel reads smaller than it really is.

Heavy glass panels run best on tandem rollers, while lighter doors take singles. All of this sliding patio door hardware is in sliding glass door hardware, with rollers by door brand in patio door rollers.

For patio door lock hardware, find out whether the old lock is a mortise lock or a hook latch before you buy, then add a security bar for a second line of defense. Bars and keyed locks are in window and door security hardware. If the door still drags after new patio door replacement hardware goes in, the rail or sill cover is next.

Which Window Hardware Fits Your Window Type?

Window hardware is specific to the window style, so start with how your window opens.

Casement Window Hardware

Casement windows crank outward, and the operator is handed, so order left or right to match the sash. Truth EntryGard operators come in single-arm and dual-arm versions. You can also buy the mechanism alone, like the Truth EP18702 3-15/16-inch left-hand dual-arm mechanism, when the frame-mounted parts are still good. Shop casement window hardware.

Awning Windows

Awning sashes hinge at the top and swing out from the bottom. Roto-Gear operators, universal joints, repair bolts and torque bar bearings are in awning window hardware.

Sliding and Hung Windows

• Sliders. Rollers such as the 7/16-inch nylon wheel for Milgard windows are in sliding window hardware.
• Single and double hung. Sash lifts, sweep locks, tilt latches and tape balances rated 8 to 16 pounds are in window sash hardware.

Storm and Jalousie Windows

CRL's BS1 universal sash storm window frame comes in 146-inch stock lengths with built-in pile weatherstrip, in white, mill and bronze, alongside corners and insert clips in storm window frame and hardware. Jalousie operators and CRL 1420C clear slat vinyl are in louver and jalousie window hardware.

Buying for a Property, a Crew or One Door?

Screen, Storm and Patio Door Questions, Answered

What Hardware Do You Need for a Screen Door?

A hinged screen door needs hinges, a pull and a latch, and a closer if you want it to shut itself. A sliding screen door needs rollers and a latch with a strike. For a new wood door, a Screen Tight kit covers the hinges, pull and latch in one box.

Do I Need a Standard or Heavy-Duty Storm Door Closer?

A standard-duty closer like the Wright V920 suits most residential storm doors. Go heavy-duty, like the Wright V150 or Ideal BK1730, for wide or heavy doors and doors that face strong wind.

What Hardware Is Used for Casement Windows?

Casement windows use a crank operator, a folding handle, a sash lock with keepers and hinges. Operators are handed, so order the left or right version to match the sash.
