Lever replacement

I would like to replace a broken lever and I think your 82-250 looks like a match for mine. However, the 1964 glass slider has handles that are riveted with a mortise lock. I suspect that this part will not be installable?
Do you have any repair suggestions.

I'm not sure, it would depend on what you have, exactly. Could you show us a few pictures of the hardware in question? That will allow us to find a good match.

I cannot see how your handle is installed based on your photos. The door handle looks like the old Arcadia patio door handle, which should be held together with screws. I am not sure why the original installers would use rivets. You may want to have a handy man come out and help with replacement.

The handles have two rivets on the outside. Thank You for your advice.

That handle usually has a metal plate covering the screws on the inside. There is a tab at the top and bottom that is bent inward to hold it on. Flatten it out and it should slide off.

Thank you to the professional from California. The metal plate slid right off exposing two screws. Now I can replace the broken handle.
Thanks,
