I have a client that has a missing latch on their metal entry door. There is glass panel that is hinged on one side and there is a "hook" welded to the other vertical frame. The client is missing the latch lock on the bottom so I'm trying to find a functional replacement.

We don't typically carry replacement parts for this type of door, but if all you needed was that little latch then it may be something we can help with.

Before I recommend anything, I'd like a photo of it removed. I also need you to measure the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center, and tell me what you get.

Thank you for your prompt response. Here are some pictures of the top and bottom of the latches. The "J-latch" end is welded to the metal door with the "j-taps" facing inward.
Thanks for your help! My customer (and I) appreciate it!

Thank you. We unfortunately don't sell anything exactly like this. I would say that our closest match is our 90-272, but I'm not sure what the hole spacing is. That will be an important factor.

What's perhaps even more important is that the 90-272 is only meant to work on windows, not door panels. With that in mind, please understand that even if the dimensions match there is no guarantee that it will work. I only recommend it because it is our best possible option at this time.
