Highlights
Quality
Happy with the quality and works great.
Fit good, variety of screws comes with the kit makes it fit just about any door.
I tried to fix the inside handle with the including screws but the screw holes in the handle were narrow.
The handle comes with the hole in the boss untapped (no threads).
Shipping
This one was not the exact design, but worked as a replacement and was fast and easy.
Competitiveness
I used this to replace a 17year old milgard glass slider door.
We have a 17 yr old milgard sliding door.
The milgard design of not pre-threading the outside handle often leads to thread tear-out over time.
Slightly smaller footprint than the oem milgard handle.
