You just never know what’s going to happen when a door is modified in the field. Today’s Fixed-it Friday photo has an obvious “fix” but also…what’s up with the old push plates?

Decoration?
Is the pull handle on the right, to high??
Pretty easy to tell that they simply cut off the old pull and stuck the end mount on the new end. you can see the screw holes and new screws. At leaset they could have used brass screws.
The customer says, “more brass!”
I guess someone did not want to take the time to find the old pulls and order them for above and below the lock. Based on the old door repairs, looks like the push plates are covering old hardware preps. The did not do a very good job though, you can still see holes that were filled and the old lock prep under the new residential keypad lock. new pull definitely does not meet ADA standards. Door closer is also missing it cover and should not be on the exterior of the door.
