Help! Metal Security Door/Gate on 2Fam House Missing Handle/Knob
Hello, I am new here so please bare with me. The metal security door on the outside of my 2 Family house is missing a handle/knob. The hole for it is still there, but no pieces of handle to be found.
What is the best way to go about fixing this? I don't think there are standard sizes for this, so I am not sure how to find a replacement.
Who should I call? Would a locksmith have something that works with these types of doors?
How much would a job like this cost?
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can offer.

How do you get in and out of the door? Yes, a locksmith would be best set up to deal with the handle, but you may shop around a little in the big box stores and at yard sales and come up with a handle that will fit. Measure the axle to see what size it is, and go from there.

There should be a name on the door(manufacturer), look for a sticker on the hinge side jambs, then contact them. Or you may find what you need at home stores. There are likely universal replacements that will do the job.
