Can you help me add a key lock to my latch assembly

Greetings
I want to add a keyed lock to this latch assembly; Canadian Patent No.919213; PAT. NO.3596954
The outside of the assembly is recessed and needs to remain recessed to accommodate a sliding screen door.
I have already bored a 1/2" hole in the existing outside part of the handle; albeit slightly off center?.
Do you have a product that accommodates key assemblies or replaces the recessed part with a keyed part?
Thanks
Paul

Hey Paul. This handle set looks like our 82-005; but look over all the information to confirm. If so, you could use something like our 82-306 Keyed Outside Pull. See what you think.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the response.
82-306 will not work in this application because that latch/key assembly protrudes from the door invading the space that the sliding screen door needs to open and close.
The current outside assembly is flush with the surface of the door. It even has recessed "finger holds" to facilitate sliding the door.
Do you have a flush-mount outside keyed pull?

We don't have an a complete keyed pull replacement for a pull like this, but check out our 82-310 Key Lock. Look over the dimensions listed in the pictures on the product page. See if this matches up to the old key lock cylinder in your photos.
