Overview

Upgrade your screen or storm door with the Ideal Security EL15 keyed lever mount latch. This surface-mount hardware blends a modern, matte black finish with smooth, responsive lever action. Built to complement a range of styles, it pairs a reliable interior latch with a keyed deadbolt for subtle, everyday security. Since 1956, Ideal Security has delivered durable hardware solutions, and this replacement set reflects that heritage through thoughtful design and practical convenience.

Key benefits at a glance

• Elegant upgrade: A stylish lever handle paired with a keyed deadbolt to replace older push-button designs.
• Durable finish: Long-lasting matte black coating that resists weathering and daily wear.
• Two-post compatibility: Designed for storm doors with two location posts and an anchor screw.
• Door compatibility: Suitable for out-swinging doors 1 to 2-1/8 inches thick; check your setup for best fit.
• Easy installation: Complete kit with all required hardware; simple steps help you update in one session.

Installation and fit

This replacement set comes ready to install on compatible doors and includes a lever, interior latch, and keyed deadbolt. For retrofit projects, ensure the screw posts are spaced about 1-3/4 inches apart. If you are installing on a new door, you may need to drill a 3/4-inch bore for the key lock. The spindle on the deadbolt can be trimmed to fit your specific door profile, making customization straightforward.

• Post spacing: 1-3/4 inches apart for existing setups.
• Bore requirement: A 3/4-inch hole may be needed for the key lock on new installations.

Additional notes

The EL15 set is built as a surface-mount exterior door hardware solution with a sleek, contemporary look. If your current handle uses four posts, consider exploring other 4-post options. For new installations, the included components aim to simplify mounting, while the finish helps maintain curb appeal over time. As with any exterior hardware, proper installation helps ensure steady operation and a clean, integrated appearance.

With a heritage of quality hardware, Ideal Security continues to offer products that balance form and function. This replacement lever latch is a practical option for homeowners looking to refresh the look and feel of their storm or screen door without a full replacement project.
