If your Pella patio door handle is broken or damaged, you can replace it yourself with a few simple tools. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Materials You'll Need
- Replacement Pella patio door handle
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Flathead screwdriver (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove the old handle. Start by removing the two screws that hold the handle in place. The screws are located on the inside edge of the door, near the top and bottom of the handle. Once the screws are removed, pull the handle towards you to detach it from the door.
- Disconnect the latch mechanism. Once the handle is removed, you'll need to disconnect the latch mechanism. The latch mechanism is a metal piece that is attached to the inside of the door. It engages with the handle to lock and unlock the door. To disconnect the latch mechanism, use a flathead screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold it in place. Once the screws are removed, pull the latch mechanism towards you to detach it from the door.
- Install the new handle. Take the new handle and align it with the holes in the door. Insert the two screws into the holes and tighten them with a Phillips head screwdriver. Once the screws are tightened, pull the handle towards you to engage the latch mechanism.
- Reconnect the latch mechanism. Take the latch mechanism and align it with the holes in the door. Insert the two screws into the holes and tighten them with a Phillips head screwdriver. Once the screws are tightened, the latch mechanism will be reconnected.
- Test the handle. Once the handle and latch mechanism are installed, test the handle to make sure it works properly. Open and close the door a few times to make sure the handle locks and unlocks the door smoothly.
