ReigaHood 2-Point Mortise Lock Replacement for Pella Storm Doors – 2-1/2 in Handle PZ, 7/8 in Backset, 7-1/4 in Faceplate

Overview

The ReigaHood 2-Point Mortise Lock is crafted for Pella storm doors, delivering a two-bolt locking action within a compact mortise body. This replacement is designed specifically for Pella doors and is not a universal fit. Before you purchase, compare your current hardware to the bolt spacing and faceplate layout described here to help ensure a proper match.

Key compatibility and design

Important measurements include bolts spaced 2-1/2 inches apart, a centered deadlatch, and a 2-1/2 inch handle PZ. The faceplate screw holes are set at 7-1/4 inches, and screws are included to simplify mounting. The unit features a non-handed, black finish that blends with most storm door profiles.

• Two-bolt locking mechanism may improve alignment with the strike for a secure feel
• Precise geometry: 2-1/2 inch bolt spacing, 7-1/4 inch faceplate, 2-1/2 inch handle PZ
• Screws included for straightforward installation
• Non-handed design avoids orientation concerns during installation

What to expect during installation and use

Keep your original hardware until you confirm a proper fit. A piece of cardboard between the screwdriver and the door helps prevent paint marring during removal. The mortise lock is secured by four spring-loaded tabs, which may require a small pry bar or stiff putty knife to retract during removal. When removing the cylinder, align the cam and turn the thumb turn slowly before pulling. Replacement cylinders are supplied by Pella and are designed to work with the door’s original keying pattern, including the 270-degree turning action before the cam begins to rotate.
