The metal was warped - door hardware and locks

Pros - can be used in a number of ways Cons - difficult to fit Problems... the metal was warped and I was adamant about going back as I had already drilled holes in my door. I had to twist it very tight hoping it would bend. It kinda did, but I'm still a little crazy.

Pros
  • Great overall features
Cons
  • Nothing

Please choose a different closure.

This is the strangest door handle I've ever seen. The latch is on the OUTSIDE of the door. It doesn't retract automatically (I assume you have to turn the knob to retract it). Which door handle must be used to close the door? screen door! Choose a different pen. I will do just that.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Mother-in-law is delighted! A+

My mother in law would travel to every major hardware store in her area to look for this pen. It was either a replacement handle or hundreds of dollars to replace a door. The technician noticed the problem and knew what to do. This was due to the piece on the door and handle being 1/8 inch each. Obviously you have to adjust one for the grip to work. However, the deed was done. Mother-in-law saved! And I'm her favorite daughter-in-law! Thank you!

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others

Looks good, very solid, matches other door handles.

I bought this for a 3/4 inch wood and acrylic storm door that I made for a dog door. Our doors are 8ft high (hard to find) and I can't use a screen in the 100+ degree desert heat. I have fitted self closing hinges to the door and the latch on the door jamb had to be adjusted a little and put a washer to allow the door to automatically latch, now it works perfectly and looks very professional and high quality.

Missing parts fit latch and bolt

Many parts are missing. No pens. no latch, unusable as a handle. I am disappointed to say the least. After waiting 11 days to receive it, I can't even use it. Now I need to find something that has parts to keep my storm door from closing in the cold. I've always loved Revain but it was a waste of time and money. Update, I went to Home Depot and bought one of these with all the parts and I love it. The handle is well built and beautiful, be careful when buying used from Revain.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Large and bulky

Poor replacement clasp

I am disappointed with this replacement clasp. First, the handles are not solid (see attached image). Second, the square "driver" pins that come with the kit don't match my door thickness. My door is within the specified range, but the longer pin was still about 3/8" too short. Luckily I was able to get one out of my old lock to get it to work. Third, I need to change the latch. If the When the door closes, it hits the latch, but the latch itself does not retract. To close the door, you need to

Appears to be of good quality and relatively easy to install

Appears to be of good quality and relatively easy to install. I only had to be very careful when placing the drilling template. It was a bit confusing at first until I realized that it was meant to hook onto the frame of my new emco 100 storm door, not the hasp that came with the kit. In my situation, there is no way it can get caught on the strike plate. After dry mounting I installed it as close to the edge of the storm door as possible and it hugs the frame or "zbar" perfectly. My…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Easily repairable

Works like clockwork

Installation was pretty easy. In fact, it matched the holes in the old door handle almost perfectly, but when closing the inner door, the handles of both doors bumped into each other, preventing either door from closing. I ended up moving this handle up a bit, drilled another hole, putty and painted over the bottom hole. Went like clockwork. The whole thing probably took about an hour, and most of the time I had to wait for the putty to cure/dry before painting. The package contains all the…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
