Need new sliding door handle/locking mechanism unit for my Legance patio sliding door

I have a Legance2 sliding patio door. The posts attaching to the locking mechanism broke, so I need to replace the whole unit. Note that the base of the handle is slightly curved (not straight). I also photographed the ID label found inside the right end of the sliding door. The base of the handle is approx. 7-1/4 inch long. The distance between the metal posts (that broke) is approx. 4 inches.

Hi there and thank you for visiting our website. Our 82-081 keyed mortise style handle set should work fine as a replacement. Take a look and see what you think.

I have a broken handle on my Legance sliding door that needs to be replaced.
It is keyed.
I think the main (and hopefully only) difference from the 82-081 is that the base of my handle that attaches to plate is slightly curved. I am fine with changing the handle set to a straight model if it will work for my door.
But The anti-slam button on my mortise lock is not centered between those hooks. Will that make a difference?

I agree that the 82-081 that Bob recommended in response to your original post above would be our best replacement option. This assembly is commonly used with the 82-238 mortise lock. If you need to replace the lock, we also recommend purchasing the 89-030 strike so that the anti-slam button will line up. Take a look and see what you think.
