I need to replace a broken lock arm glide. One picture is the intact glide, the other is the broken glide. I would prefer a metal replacementif possible. .

Hello! We call this part a tie bar guide. Yours in particular appears to be a match for our 39-448, but see what you think.

They don't make these in metal, unfortunately. Plastic is the only way these have ever been made, to my knowledge.
