attached photos are of a Lachestar spring assembly locking device in a patio sliding door. Apparently, the spring has lost it's tension and will not close on door frame hook. I've tried to increase the tension however it doesn't last long and is soon out of range of the door frame hook to lock. I'm sending two photos....one of the profile and one of the face showing the spring in the center. If you have or know where I can purchase a replacement I will be very to compensate you....thank you in advance....Ron

Hello,

We have come across this lock in the past and, unfortunately, we have not been able to find a suitable replacement. From the description and picture, It seems like it might be an after-market type, which means it may not be available any longer. Do you think you could substitute with a surface-mounted handle set like our 82-005? Look it over and let us know what you think. Thanks for posting!
