Buying Guide: Door Hardware and Storm Door Parts

Door Closers and Latches
Larson door closers are aluminum pneumatic units. The Standard Duty closer CH1030301 includes brackets and screws, offers a hands-free hold-open function, and has non-corrosive components suited to coastal locations. The latch kits include push button, lift lever and mortise styles, with keyed and night lock options on several models.

Mortise Latches
The M2 Bright Brass Gold mortise latch kit is intended for Larson solid core doors and requires a factory bored 9/16 in. by 1-3/8 in. mortise hole on the edge of the door. Other mortise latch kits are offered in brushed nickel, aged bronze and bright brass finishes.

Storm Door Accessories
Storm door accessories include a bright brass storm door lever, zinc-plated steel wind chains and a black polyurethane door sweep. A wind chain helps keep the door from opening too wide in everyday use or strong wind. Sweeps slide into an existing sweep slot and can be cut as needed.
