lesmue79Maybe someone here can help or recommend something, as our home builder currently doesn’t seem to have a solution.
Here’s the issue:
Our utility room also serves as a secondary entrance and a mudroom, so there is essentially a patio door acting as a side entrance with a lockable handle that can be opened with the front door key. However, it has a flat handle installed so the roller shutter can run past it and fully close down to the floor.
Due to its design and the main use of the door, the handle wears out quickly and has already needed replacement within 1.5 years because it stretches and loosens so fast. So sooner or later, another failure is pretty much inevitable.
Our home builder doesn’t have any advice or seems unwilling to deal with it anymore, probably because there are more profitable ventures.
Maybe someone here has a suggestion for a solution?

Alternatively, just use titanium or steel instead of aluminum.

What’s the purpose of a turnable handle there?
I only have a pull bar or push plate on both my front door and patio door. Because that’s a door without a latch.

I think it wears out because the door is used so often. During the week, the door is used 5-6 times per day whenever someone comes home or leaves the house, to take out the trash or get to the car. On weekends, it’s even more.
This is basically our front door; the actual main entrance is mostly only used by visitors.
