Frequently Asked Questions

Our door handles only fit sliders with 7.25" x 1" door plates. The retrofit handle is designed to install over most standard sliding glass door handles. You do not remove or modify the original handle.

Since it installs over existing hardware, there is no need to match exact screw spacing or brand. This helps if your door is older, discontinued, or you are not sure who made it.

If your current handle has a basic pull style with a relatively flat face and standard depth, it is very likely to work with this style of retrofit handle.

No. There is no drilling, no cutting, and no door alteration required.

The handle is designed to clamp over your existing handle. You keep your original lock and latch in place. The retrofit design avoids damage to the frame or glass, which is especially helpful if you rent or do not want to void a warranty on the door.

Installation is meant to be quick, clean, and reversible if you ever decide to remove it.

Most people can install the handle in about 30 seconds once it is out of the box.

You align the new handle over the existing one, tighten the fasteners, and test the grip. No special tools, drilling, or carpentry skills are needed. If you can tighten a basic fastener, you can handle the install.

The handle uses steel for strength and water-resistant oak for a comfortable grip and clean look.

This pairing gives you a solid, secure feeling when you open and close the door. The wood is designed to handle humidity around doors and patios, and the steel frame helps prevent flexing or bending over time.

You can choose finishes like white or bronze so the handle blends with your door and trim.

No. Your original lock and latch stay in place and continue to work as they always have.

The retrofit handle simply gives you a stronger, more ergonomic grip on the door. You still lock and unlock the door the same way. If your current lock works now, it will work with the new handle in place.

If your lock is worn out or broken, you may still need a lock repair, but the new handle can make daily use easier in the meantime.

Yes. Since there is no drilling and no permanent change to the door, this option is renter friendly.

You are not removing or replacing the original hardware, only adding a clamp-on handle over it. If you move, you can take the handle with you and leave the original door hardware as is.
