Broken sliding door lock

The slider that pushes up and down to lock my sliding glass door has broken. Attached are photos of the lock and a label that was on the door frame. Any chance you would have a replacement lock?

Hello,

Your mortise lock looks like a match to our 82-226 but if the hook is not engaging when you lock and unlock the door from the inside, this issue could also be a broken thumb latch. If that is the case, you may be able to use our 82-106 turning lever to replace the broken one. Thank you!

Hi Lynn,

The overall length isn't a big concern but you should pay close attention to the distance between the installation holes. Take a look at the dimensions below to compare.

My lock looks exactly like the Mortise Lock you suggested. My lock is just over 6 inches long. Do they come in different sizes?

Thanks for your help.

I just installed the new lock you sent and it fit perfectly and now the door locks once again.

Thanks so much for your help.
