Wright Products FBA_VBG115PB Brighton Surface Mount Latch, Brass

I like everything about this product except the company put their name on the outside. Looks a little low class for a nice brass plate.

This is a well made, attractive product.

This product exceeded my already high expectations! I put up with a broken outside handle on one of our 20+ year old Trapp brand storm doors for several years because I could not find an exact replacement handle set. In fact, I bought two handle sets so I could proactively replace the handle on a second Trapp brand storm door. The Wright brand handle sets were excellent because of the included brass cover plates for the inside handles. The brass finish handles look great on our brown storm doors and they work very smoothly! I wish I would have replaced the handles much sooner!The cover plates cover holes in the door that were previously needed for the deadbolt features of the original handle and lock sets. The fact that the Wright handle sets did not include deadbolts could be a negative for some people. However, as I said, I could not find exact match handle and lock sets after several attempts on the internet. So, I was happy to use the Wright brand handles.

Photo is inaccurate.This does not have a keyed lock accessible from outside. It does have a privacy latch on the inside. Installation is straightforward. Comes with multiple length parts and screws to fit a variety of doors. I had to trim 1/4 inch off one part with a hacksaw and make the hole in my screen door slightly larger with a drill to get the best fit. Still, installation only took about 20 minutes. Comes with an inside bezel similar in shape to the bezel in the photo which is a nice touch especially if you are replacing an old latch. This item is for left handed doors as pictured, if installing on a right handed door as I did the tip of the handle will curve up. Seems sturdy and looks way nicer than the beat up old latch it replaced!

Good replacement for the original handle which can no longer be purchased from the manufacturer. I did have to drill a hole out larger in the door but it was not a problem. It looks nice and is more simple than the original eliminating the locking cylinder. So, this one cannot be locked or unlocked from the outside. I will probably buy two more of these for the other two doors.

No happy. The lock broke.

I had a hard time trying to find a new handle that would work with the thickness of my door. This one comes with lots of different options and is easy to install.

If you have a broken Larson 3-post handleset, this is the only replacement I have been able to find that you can install without having to drill additional holes, or make changes to the latch catch set-up on the door jamb (I didn't have to move the old latch catch set-up). The only drawback is there is no key/deadbolt, but the handleset fits perfectly over all the holes, and lines up perfectly with the latch cacth. No drilling holes in your aluminum storm door, and no having to punch more holes (or fill gaps for the old latch) in the door molding/jamb. Almost all new handlesets are 4-post, and the 3-post style was discontinued in the mid-2000s. I know now why it was discontinued ... the original 3-post handleset with the lock/deadbolt was just a painted tin piece of garbage, and I imagine after several years most handles snapped off. That said, it is amazing to me that no manufacturer has stepped up to create a complete replacement (with the lock), but this one gets you most of the way to a grade A repair.
