Fixed patio door clip

I'm hoping the clips I need are still made. They are a sort of L-shaped plastic used to secure the fixed patio door to the jamb. The dimensions are: 1 1/2 inch between screw holes on both ends of the clip. Side of clip with slotted screw holes is 1 1/4 inch deep. Other side is 1 inch deep to the raised part that has the screw holes. That part is 1/2 inch deep and the step height is 7/16 inch. I tried 80-051 but it does not fit.

I'm sorry to hear the hardware you purchased from us didn't work. Could you show me a picture of the old clip? That would help us determine what else could be used.

This clip is from a patio door installed about 15 years ago. I don't see any manufacturer's name but was used in a Pulte constructed townhome. It is shaped like the right side of the 80-051 but does not have the left, flat portion. The dimensions are also different, as noted above.

Thanks for any help

Thank you for getting back to us Unfortunately, the manufacturer discontinued your bracket and the 80-051 is currently the only part on the market able to replace it. I'm surprised it didn't work, though. I've had many customers report that it installs fine. Can you go into more detail as to why it didn't work?
