I hear you. I like the mounting block idea without having to cut into the siding, but those may not be the best options. Cutting in and mounting a block as you suggested might be. I need to explore a...

Are locking astragals universal?

The astragal on our french door is broken. Are they mostly universal so I can simply buy a replacement? Our door doesn't have any markings on it so I can't refer to the manufacturer.
