Broken Latch Mechanism

Home Owner from Pulaski Virginia
Oct 12, 2023 12:22 pm

I have a sliding glass door with a broken latch catching mechanism, i.e., the small piece that the glass door latching mechanism hooks into. The two pieces that are installed in the glass door itself have the labels: DNS INDUSTRIES 12 INSIDE PULL MIAMI, FLA - STANDARD and DNS INDUSTRIES, 13/23 OUTSIDE PULL MIAMI, FLA - STANDARD. These are "silver" and somewhat corroded.

I would like to replace the small catching mechanism and the two pieces labeled above. If you can provide them, please let me know and I will order them.

Many thanks, Roy

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but, unfortunately, I can't be sure of what you need based on your description alone. We would need to see detailed photos of the sliding glass door parts that you need, along with written-out dimensions, to compare to our inventory. Thank you!

The dimensions of the metal hole on the sliding glass door are 3/4 in by 7 1/8 inch. I do not have the part at the moment - it may have been accidently discarded. The part looks like the one pictured at:

If you have one of these, please let me know how I can order it.

Unfortunately, we can't determine if any of our parts could work without seeing the original handle set but we carry a few options that install in a door cutout like yours that use a latch hook to lock the door. Review the specifications of the handle sets related on this page to your door and see what you think. If you decide to give any of them a try and it doesn't work out, our return policy can be found here.
