We removed the old steel door and replaced it with a Special-lite FRP door using a continuous hinge and a new hold open door closer.  We re-installed the electronic lockset and adjusted everything to close and latch properly. 
Featured Product   
  
Trimco's 1096/1097 Series Anti-Vandal Pull Handle
 
Trimco is a proud and fiercely independent manufacturer of high performance architectural hardware, more commonly known as flat goods or trim.  Trimco is probably best known for its heavy-duty door hardware products.
 
The 1096/1097 Series Anti-Vandal pull handle's surface area is larger than a mortise lock body. To mount the anti-vandal pull, welded solid steel threaded studs are through-bolted to the interior face of the door, eliminating exterior fasteners.
The 1096/1097 Series was designed to resist forced entry attacks by crowbars or chains and was developed for single and double doors equipped with exit devices, mortise locks or as a standalone handle only. For keyed lock applications, the mortise or rim cylinder face is the only exposed component on the anti-vandal pull. The handle portion has a plasticol coating which can change the ambient temperature of the pull up to 25 degrees, permitting safe door operation in extreme weather conditions.
Trimco anti-vandal products are available to mate with the most commonly used mortise locks, exit devices and cylindrical locks. They can be ordered with or without latch protection for single- or double-door applications.
