JW Sliding Door Mortise Handle

A handy person from Utah says:

The lock on my sliding door handle broke. It appears to be a JW handle and a the lock was getting stuck some where it would be difficult to unlock the door. I would like to see if you have a replacement for the lock handle and the lock. Thanks,

Hello! It definitely sounds like your mortise lock is the source of the issue. When the mortise starts hanging up, it takes more and more force for the thumb lever to actually throw it. Eventually the thumb lever will snap right off.

Fortunately, we sell both. My recommendations to start out would be the 82-265 mortise and 82-107 thumb lever. Look these two products over and let me know if you had any questions. We also have a video on the 82-265 that may be of interest to you.
