Andersen sliding door lock

Thanks.



Thanks for reaching out to us! The 82-043 Andersen thumb latch comes to mind. We also have the 82-316 keyed lock. The way handing is determined for Andersen doors is based on the operating panel from the outside looking in; so in other words, if the moving door that takes the lock is to your left while you're standing outside, then you want the 82-316. Hopefully that makes sense.
For the lock assembly, see the 82-037 or 82-242. Review the specifications and see which one matches up with your old hardware.
Let us know if you have any questions!

I am interested to install the keyed lock on the outside of the sliding door, not the inside. I understand that I need to buy the deadlock Assembly but I am not sure how a keyed lock can fit from the outside. Photos of from the outside were provided with my first email.
Thank you.

Thank you in advance for your support.



I don't see why the 82-316 wouldn't work for this application. This part comes with instructions and you will need to drill out the mounting holes for the 82-316 key cylinder. The mounting holes for the key cylinder match up to the holes in the 82-043 thumb turn. The key activates the lock from the outside of the door. The 82-043 thumb turn activates the lock from the inside of the door. If you're not comfortable with the installation, we recommend consulting a local professional for assistance.
