Hi- I've talked to several companies and no one has helped me so I figured I will try yours. I'm looking to get a key lock for this set up, preferably a keypad lock. Is that possible or with the clamp style latch can I only get a key lock cylinder to install? Do I have to change my door jamb and whole handle set to the traditional hook type latch if I want a keypad lock? Please respond. Any advice will help. I've been trying to figure this out for a month and need something installed ASAP. Thank you

Thanks for your patience with us. Your handle looks similar to our 82-082 handle which uses our 82-310 key cylinder. You will need to punch/drill out the key plug in the exterior handle and cut the key cylinder tail to the proper length for your door. There are some related videos I have placed on the upper right hand side of this page I would like for you to take a look at. See if this can help you.

Where have you seen a keypad lock for a sliding glass door?
That sounds like a good idea, but I've never seen that as an option.

I have the same style clamp handle, but it has the 3" holes. The one coming off the door also had an outside lock cylinder. Do you carry something with the 3" holes and can be keyed?

The only clamp-style handle set we sell with a 3" hole spacing is our 82-077. However the exterior pull handle is very different from the 82-005 that I recommended above. While the exterior pull on the 82-082 just mounts to the flat surface of the door, the 82-077 exterior pull has to fit in a specifically sized cavity cut into the door. If your door doesn't have such a cavity, I'd advise against using it.
The 82-077 also doesn't come with a key lock, and we don't sell anything that is specifically made to work with it. Ultimately, you may find it easier to use the 82-082 and just redrill your holes, but it's up to you.
