Changing patio door handle for another one with a lock
Hello there! I currently have a patio door that can only be locked from the inside. I'd like to have one with an exterior lock, so I'm exploring my options. My handle has two screws that are 6-9/16" apart with a hole directly in the middle, presumably for a locking handle. However, when searching online, I've found there don't seem to be any standard sizes. It's difficult to find a handle that will likely fit my door, and I want to avoid drilling additional holes. I called a professional (just over the phone) who told me that patio door handles are always complicated. He said his service would involve visiting my home, identifying the door manufacturer, contacting them, and ordering the appropriate hardware. He quoted me 800$ CAD, which is more than I want to spend. Is he right or I might find a decent handle option somewhere and it will be ok? I also found an handle that always look perfect for me but as you can see, it says 7/16" which is 11,1 mm and I measured 10 mm for the hole on my door. Not sure if it's negligible or not. What do you guys think? There is the pictures of my door I live in Québec, Canada. Thanks! submitted by /u/frankzwa123 [link] [comments]
