Mortise lock with pocket trimplate

Question

This is for a patio door. As shown in the picture, it is broken. I ordered Part No. 82-229 upon recommendation of a clerk at Home Depot who thought it was the right part. Received it yesterday and it does not fit properly in the whole. A tad too big. So I will need to return that. Can you find one that will fit? Thanks. Sharon

I believe the 82-229 is indeed the correct part for your door. These are designed to be tight. I think you should be able to get it to fit, but if you feel it's necessary you can file the cut out in the door a hair so that it's easier. I don't think you will need to do that, though.
