Closed, surface mount keeper with screws 4-7/16 inch

Quick Learner from Carefree, AZ
I have glass patio doors with W-M on the handles (? Window Master??). One pair of doors close from the left and from the right to meet in the center. These appear to have been locked with a closed, surface mount keeper (similar to your #89-012), BUT with mounting screws 4-7/16 inch on center. The first 2 photos attached are the existing holes. The next 3 photos are of another glass door and are probably the type of keeper I need.

I am desperate. I have searched everywhere. Can you supply these? If not, any help in identifying them or where I might get them will help. The house was built about 1985, so ask your "old timers"!!!! Thanks, Rick

Hey, Rick. I'm afraid I have some bad news. I couldn't find a match for your keeper, either. I looked everywhere for this thing and it doesn't appear to be an option. To be honest with you, I've never seen it before, either. Part of me thinks this is something unique to the makers of your door. 

The good news is, our 89-012 can probably still work for you without issue. The bad news is, you'll have to drill new holes and they won't look half as nice. One issue is that the old screw holes will be exposed, but the other issue is that the keeper will be crooked, since your latch hooks are inverted. That second issue can at least be fixed by flipping the latch hook of one of your handles. See the video below for instructions on how this can be done. That will hopefully alleviate the difference in appearance.

Sorry again that we couldn't find this! I really tried.
