Ador handle

Thank you for writing in, Kerry. Please take a look at our 82-013 handle set. Although your handle set doesn't look identical to what you have, we believe this will still work for you. Reconfirm your measurements and match them with ours. 

I'm sorry to say that Kerry never got back to us as to whether our 82-013 worked, but I think yours might be a little different. The handle design is very close but there is one major difference between yours and Kerry's: your handle interacts with a mortise latch that's built into the door, rather than built into the handle itself.

With that in mind, 82-013 may not be your best option. My major concern here is that there's not enough room on your frame to install the keeper that comes with it and still have it functional.

Before I suggest anything for sure, I'd like you to remove your mortise lock and show me a clear photo of it out of the door. I'm chiefly interested in seeing the hole that interfaces with the thumb lever, so that I can find you a handle that interfaces with it the same exact way. Please let me know if that would be possible.

Sounds good to me! We'll be here to help at your convenience, Rose, just let us know.

Great, take a look at the 82-218 mortise lock. This resembles the part shown in your photos but review the dimensions below to confirm it's a match. Thank you.

So the 82-218 mortise is compatible with a ton of different mortise styles. The most common is going to be our 82-030, which is compatible with about a million different patio doors and especially this style mortise. My only concern is that the hole spacing is different at 3-15/16", so drilling new holes will be necessary.

The other possibility is just using our 82-013. This has the same hole spacing as your original at 82-013, but it has its own self-contained mortise and would not interact with your original in any way. Therefore you would just leave the old one in the door and pretend like it's not there.

Additionally, using the 82-013 will require drilling holes anyway, but this time you would need to drill them in the door frame so that you can install the keeper for the new latch style. The 82-013 comes with its own keeper.

I believe these are going to be the best options we can provide at this time. I know that they're not ideal, and in both cases it's going to require handiwork, but look them over and see what you think. It's basically a question of whether you want to drill new holes in the frame, or in the door.

We don't necessarily have a list of all  82-218 compatible handle sets, but I can make a list for you here. Note that in many cases the thumb lever and key lock will be in different positions, which may or may not line up with the slot in your mortise. Be mindful of that as you look through our different options. The 82-030 is my top suggestion because it has an adjustable thumb lever, allowing it to work in any position needed.
