Hello! Your handle set closely resembles our 82-035. Please look it over and let me know if you agree.

82-035 is good. Still need to be able to open slider to replace handles.

Oh, I'm sorry for overlooking that detail. I was so focused on your photos that I just glossed over that.

There could be a lot of reasons why your door is stuck. The most likely culprit is a broken mortise lock. Now that the handle is removed, you could try to see if you can throw it manually with a screwdriver. If that doesn't work, however, then it will make things a lot harder. You'll need to cut the mortise off the door in order to open it again. This is an extremely difficult project and I highly recommend contacting a local professional to come out and do it for you.

I do believe the handle I need is 82-035 BRONZE. I also need the mortise lock that works with 82-035. I attached pic of the old mortise from lock.
Please advise what to order so all works well together. Thank you.

I'm glad that you were able to get the mortise out! Based on these photos, I think our 82-227 is the best option in our inventory. I would just check the installation hole spacing to confirm that it's the same.
