Hello
My door does not contain any markings or labels, attached are a few pictures. Could someone recommend to me solutions to convert this slider into a lockable door?

Thanks
Brian

Looking at your photos, I believe you can use our 82-081 key lock handle set. However, You might need to drill a hole in the door to accept the key lock tail, in case your door doesn't have one already. Let me know what you think!

Thank you, I will try it out. Can you confirm that based on the pictures I provided, you think I only need to purchase the 82-081 and not the 82-238 as well?

No drilling should be needed. This is a simple swap.
You may need to break off the tail. It is meant to go into the slot in the inside lever. If it is too long, it will push on the lever and bind. The simplest way is with 2 pairs of vice-grips. Bend until broken. Using a hacksaw is much harder.

I'm afraid your pictures don't indicate if the mortise lock is broken or not. You would need to test it out to confirm it's still working.
