I have a problem with the internal mechanism on my patio door. The internal spring has broken and causes the latch to fail.
Can an entire set including the internal works and handle be replaced. I

It's tough to tell from this angle, but I believe you have either our 82-223 or 82-218. Look them over and let me know what you think.

The sizes for 82-223 and 82-218 appear the same. Mine is the round face. Is that the only difference?

Yep, the style of the face is the only difference. I couldn't tell from your photo if the face was rounded or squared, but if it's rounded then I'd definitely suggest the 82-218. We also have this in stainless steel as the 82-243.

same thing happen to mine after 6 years. though i have the 82-218. in my opinion the door itself is made poorly. if you take the old lock out and drop it, it will slide down the inside channel of the slider. i had to fish mine out. :)now i know when i put the new one in, install it with a pair of needle nose pliars like the video shows ;)
