High quality material, clear instructions and relatively easy installation. Adaptable to several scenarios of door thicknesses and swing.

I'm very happy with it. I'm not handy at all but was able to install it easily. I did, however, have to ask someone to cut one of the thin pieces of metal for me. This door latch/handle set fits various door thicknesses, so it comes with different sized screws you can use. There's a template which shows you which hardware parts to use for your door's thickness. The instructions tell you which line you cut that metal piece for your door's size. If I didn't have that person to cut it for me, it would have been a lot more difficult. It looks great and was cheaper than the other replacement handle/latch sets.

It would be nice to have a guide for the main bolts.

Good quality product.Easy fit to Aluminart storm door.

After reading another purchaser's comments on looking for a replacement handle for an EMCO door (now Andersen), I decided to take a chance and purchase this Wright replacement door hardware package.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 andmaking sure that the plate was properly vertically aligned and parallel with the door, pressed the lower stem against the door frame so that theink 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 bottomplate 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 throughthe 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/lockmechanism 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 itsits 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 thecut-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 latchmechanism 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 tofile 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 boltswith 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/keyshaft that runs from the external plate into the internal plate before the internal handle/latch plate would sit flush against the door. Use themedium length bolts to attach the internal and external plates together. Once you have the plates and internal latch mechanism installed, attachone 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 thecorrect 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 theinternal 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 deadcenter 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 beinstalling. 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 verysnugly 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 toremove the internal and external plates and the external handle and handle bar and refer back to the Wright instructions that come with the kitto properly install the door handle external and internal teflon washers and secure it to the plate. You can then continue following the Wrightinstructions 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!
