A loose handle should be tightened to function properly.
Pella storm door handle wont open.
This loosens the tension in the hinges to make the door easier to open.
Pry off the plastic covers loosen the screws and slide the strikes up or down a few millimeters.
A pella storm door that is difficult to open or close may be the result of a faulty or misaligned door latch.
I have a full view pella storm door that is now refusing to open.
You will very likely need a new lock as the spring inside has probably broken.

Twist the hinge rail screws a quarter turn each counterclockwise using a flat screwdriver.
If the handle must be lifted to open or close the door the hardware is upside down.
The handle is moving freely on both sides and it appears to be unlocked but it just won t open.
If the door hangs or doesn t latch the door latch is not properly aligned.
If you cant get help from pella let me know and i will see if the lock is available.
The hinge rail runs vertically along the hinge side of the door.

Once you have a hole you can use a small flat blade screwdriver to push the latch over and open the door.
