Need a new sliding door latch

A quick learner from georgetown, Texas says:
Hi, I need a new latch for this door. I've replaced it once already but don't recall the model number. I just need the piece inside. Not the handle. You slide the thumb latch down and it is suppose to lock the door. Mine is very loose.

I also need to replace the bottom rollers. Can you tell me how to identify the model number or style of roller? I really don't want to have to pull the door and remove a roller to find out what it is. I'd rather have the parts on hand and swap them out.

Also ... if I replace the rollers should I also replace the bottom track?

Thanks! Don

Gosh ... forgot I asked about the rollers. This is an 8' door and I don't relish the idea of pulling it apart twice.

If you can help ID the latch I'd appreciate it.

Hello, Don. The internal piece you refer to is called the mortise lock. Yours in particular looks like our 82-218. I'm pretty confident this will work for you.

I have some bad news about the rollers, though. The only way we can ID them is to see them out ahead of time. I know that's more of a project than you wanted to deal with, but it's the only way. That's just how patio glass doors are designed. If we can't see the roller, we can't find a match.

Specifically, we need to see the top, side, and rear. Dimensions would also be a big help.

Finally, concerning your track, you only need to replace that if it's in bad condition.

I've got a brave soul to help me remove the door. I have a couple of questions.

(1)Your video says to remove the fixed glass side first. None of the other videos I've watched show guys doing this. Is this necessary just to change the rollers?

(2)I was looking for anti theft devices to prevent someone from lifting the door. Videos show them on the sides of the door. My door doesn't lift. However, I see a button type cover on the top; one near each corner. Could they be concealing some sort of anti theft mechanism?

Thanks!

About removing the stationary door first: in some cases, you need to remove the doors from the outside of the house. In other cases you can lift the door up and out from inside the house. It really just depends on the door. The type we show in our video is just the most common. 

Those button covers you show in your photos I believe are just guides to help center the door. I don't see evidence of any security mechanism.
