This part just came off my patio door but I cannot determine where is it from. Is it broken? Does it need to be replaced? Do you have it? Otherwise, could you let me know where is it from?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome back! Do you think this could be a securing bracket like the 80-003? I'm not exactly sure what it's purpose is, and looking at the photos it does not look worn or broken. If it doesn't appear to be the 80-003, can you tell us more about what it does and its function? Can you show it to us installed? From there, we'll do our best to find something for you. Many thanks.

Hi Dave,

I doubt it is a securing bracket, I just placed it in the bottom of the door, inside an open gap, it seems that door runs more smoothly, could it be a guide?

Please see pics

Thanks

Thanks for the additional information. These pictures are a big help, but I'm afraid they only confirmed that isn't something we'll be able to supply. Your part could be a type of "dust" cover or a type of "gap" filler. It may not be available anymore. My research just couldn't turn anything up. Parts for aluminum patio doors are becoming harder to find these days. Most customers opt for vinyl doors since the insulating value is better.

I think your only option at this point would be to get in touch with a local mom and pop type shop, someplace with a history. They may have some older parts in stock for you.

Sorry that we couldn't help you for this one!
