The door latch handle is stuck n the open position and I cannot move the handle in any directions. The door was installed in 2000 as part of a complete home Caradco windows and doors replacements.
I took the whole unit inside the door jam out and found that several small aluminum parts inside the lockset were broken. Of course I am unable to reassemble the lockset.
The dimensions of the latching mechanism are as follows: Here are 4 latches inside the door edge. The flat steel part is approx 76" long. There are 14 screws that hold the part into the door: Starting at the bottom the holes are at 2 5/8"; 6 1/2, 10 3/8, 13 3/4, 19 5/8, 25 7/8, 25 7/8, 29, 31, 39 1/2, 46 3/4, 54, 57 5/8, 61, 64, 69, 74. the latches are 1) between 10 3/8 & 13 3/4; 2) between 25 7/8 & 29; 3) 39 /12 & 46 3/4; 4) 54 & 57 5/8. The lockset is between 29 & 31.
Although the handles are ok I would like to replace them. The set is a brush brass (not bright).
I was unable to use your camera to take the photo using my laptop. However I can send several text photos from my Android Smart Phone if you want to send me a number to send it to.
Currently using a hastily made stick in the door channel.
Thanks. Pete
