–Went to Lowe’s and got a couple of Kwikset door handles for the patios. Front one went on fine. Back one is a nightmare. Handle is farther back from door edge, so requires longer hardware. I had to leave the original spindle on. Gate is also far from fence, so previous owner (at our request) had kluged up a spacer to make it fit. Spacer is rotten and (perhaps necessarily because of a step in the fence) in two pieces, so I made my own. Too tired to try and fit it up tonight.
–Went to Sprouts for a pumpkin pie (reddit/sacramento recommendation).
