Legance II sliding patio door / Double Mortise locking mechanism won't lock

Home Owner from Mentor , Ohio
I closed the door yesterday and a little piece of metal broke off and now I can't lock the door. It was attached to the something in the small little square in the middle between the two clinchers.I understand what it does after messing with it for a while but I think I need to replace the locking box that slides into the door itself . Total length of the piece is 9 in. and is rounded at both ends not square. Width is 11/16 in. The distance between the top and bottom screw holes in the piece is 7 3/4 inches. The distance between the two middle holes is 6 3/8 inches. I am not real tech savoy it took me most of the morning to figure out got to get you a decent picture but I am persistent !! I think the part I need is 82-238 . If you have it and how much it will cost.

The 82-238 is indeed the right replacement for this mortise lock. All pricing is listed on its shop page. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Bob I forgot to ask at the time . The door has a lock that works with a key from the outside also . Does that make the installation any more complicated . Is there anything I need to keep in mind when installing the replacement ?
Thank you Bonnie

Hey Bonnie. It should be pretty straight forward; basically remove the handle set when you replace the mortise lock, then when you replace it just make sure the tailpiece of the key lock is in the keyway of the new mortise lock. Let me know if you have any other questions.
