Keyed handle set

I have a 30yr old patio slider, never keyed. Would like to replace old handle with Center Keyed Handle Set.
There is no mortise, just a latch attached to a locking claw.
Photos attached. Can you help?
Thank you, Tom

We may be able to supply a replacement for this handle set. Before I recommend anything, can you tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center?

Thanks! I would suggest our 82-003 handle set, then, which has the same hole spacing and locking method. They don't make this with a key lock, but we've found that it's fully compatible with our 82-306 exterior key pull (sold separately).

The old handle set looks to be identical to your 82-003. Will the 82-306 exterior key pull work with my handle set or do I need a mortise also?

Yep, as I mentioned in my previous response, the 82-306 is fully compatible with the 82-003. No mortise is necessary, nor would one install on your door to begin with since there's not enough room.

Thank you Tom. I'm going to order the 82-306.
