well I have most of my stuff to start building, its takin a while to accumulate all the stuff. I still have one problem I haven't got door handles yet. I know where I can get them for about 80 bucks but thats just a little more than I want to spend. Does any one have any suggestions on an alternative door handle, By the way I already wasted 16 bucks on two storm latch handles, they looked like they would work and they closely resembled the original teardrop handle but when I received them they turned out to be trash. any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regular house door handles work well to. I used the ones that have the lever type handles on them, they work fine with a little modification. About $15 a piece. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
And you can get them keyed alike. :applause: :applause:

I've got garage door handles on my tear. Only cost $1.75 each on a close out sale.

Have a good day.

:thinking:

I have to give you a word of caution. Even though the prices are pretty reasonable, I got hammered with shipping. So ask them what the shipping charges are. I made one big order and got everything from them at one time. Even though the shipping was high (I thought) I don't regret buying from them. They are high quality units and a lot of people use them.
