30 year old Andersen sliding patio door.

Hello, I hope you are doing well today!
I would like to install a keyed lock on the outside of my Andersen slider so I can enter my home through it. I watched your YouTube video about installing a keyed lock but that installation had the latch in the handle, while mine is separate (above the handle).
Do you have a product that would work in my situation? As you can see in the photos, there is a cylinder mounted in the door and my existing latch has a bar that inserts into the cylinder to engage the latch. I obviously need something that will work from both sides.
Also, do you know what I'd be drilling through to install a keyed lock from the outside? I'm concerned if I would need to drill through heavy metal.
Many thanks and stay well!
Jo
