3 and 3/4" hole spacing on a patio door handle
Hello! Your handle isn't immediately familiar to me, but I will do my best to find something that can replace it. Before I recommend anything, I'd like a little more information.
First, can you flip over the two handles here and show me the other sides? I want to see what you see normally. I'd also like you to show me a picture of the mortise lock that this handle interacts with (if it indeed interacts with anything). That's the hook latch mechanism inside the door. Finally, can you also confirm the spacing of the holes? Please make sure to measure from the center of each hole, not their edges. I'm hoping it's more like 3-15/16".
Your handle looks a little old fashioned to me, so my goal right now is to see if we have a modern handle that will fit on your door and interact with the existing hardware without having to drill new holes or anything like that. The less work you have to do, the better.

Thanks, Mark! These images are a huge help. I unfortunately wasn't able to find anything that matches what you show here. At 52 years old, what you have here is probably a collector's item at this point.
We do have one option you can consider that I'm confident will work, but it would require drilling new installation holes. Would that be something you're willing to do? If so, my recommendation is our 82-005. This has an installation hole spacing of 4-15/16". It also has its own self-contained latch built into the handle itself, meaning it can work on just about any kind of door. Look it over and see what you think. We also have an installation video that you may find helpful.
