Tools and Preparation Before Installation
Before you replace your Larson storm door handle, gather the following items:
| Tool / Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Compatible Larson handle kit | Choose QuickFit, Classic, or Multi-Point to match your storm door model |
| Phillips and flathead screwdrivers | Keeps the latch and moving parts working smoothly |
| Measuring tape | Check door thickness and hole spacing before purchase |
| Optional: drill | Helps if new holes or adjustments are needed |
| Optional: spacers | Used if the new handle doesn’t align perfectly with existing holes |
| Optional: silicone spray | Keeps latch and moving parts working smoothly |
Pro Tip: Always measure door thickness (usually 1″ or 1.25″) and confirm right- or left-hand opening before purchase. This prevents buying the wrong product.
How to Install a Larson Storm Door Replacement Handle
Step 1: Remove the Old Handle
Use a Phillips screwdriver to take out the fasteners. Carefully pull the handle apart.
Step 2: Inspect Components
Check the latch, strike plate, and spindles. Replace if worn or if the instructions included recommend it.
Step 3: Align and Measure
Ensure the new handle matches the pre-drilled holes. Use spacers if necessary.
Step 4: Install the New Handle
Insert the exterior handle, connect it with the interior assembly, and tighten the screws evenly.
Step 5: Test Operation
Close the door and test the latch and lock. Adjust the strike plate or settings if the latch is unable to catch properly.
Pro Tip: Just like with garage door replacements, the key to a smooth install is preparation. Taking time to measure, inspect, and match parts ensures your storm door continues to perform reliably for years.
Troubleshooting Common Installation Issues
- Handle feels stiff: Apply silicone spray to moving components.
- Latch misaligned with strike plate: Adjust screws and reposition.
- Key does not turn: Confirm correct cylinder installation and match with supplied keys.

Frequently Asked Questions About Larson Storm Door Replacement Handle
Can you replace just the handle on a storm door?
Yes. You can replace only the handle without buying a new door. Larson handle kits are sold as complete products, and most include all the parts you need. If the latch and strike plate are still working, a simple handle purchase is often enough. You can select from different options at your local store or order online through trusted retailers like Amazon.
Are Larson handles universal?
No. Larson handles are built to match factory specifications on Larson storm doors. Universal handles may look similar, but they often don’t line up with existing holes, which can cause an error in fit or performance. To avoid returns, always check your door’s thickness and spacing and select the correct Larson product.
Are all storm door handles interchangeable?
No. Storm door handles vary by brand, mounting hardware, and hole spacing. A handle that fits one model may not work on another. Always review the included documents and installation information before you purchase. This ensures the handle you add is compatible with your door and reduces the chance you’ll need to return it.
What is the warranty on Larson storm door handles?
Larson storm door handles typically come with a limited warranty. Buying from an authorized store like Valley Lock & Door means your purchase is backed by reliable support. You’ll also get access to installation guides, helpful content, and even videos to help you install the handle correctly and keep your door performing at its best.
