Hello. It looks to me that the pins are OK on the lock, however the door frame will no longer retain them

Hello! I see your situation on the door jamb...
I did try to see if there were other handle sets you could use, like the surface mounted 82-005, but you would need to adapt the jamb to fit the keeper if you did that. However, looking at the photo, you should be able to move the handle up or down on the door to have the handle lock into another location on the jamb.
Take note: you will need to drill a new hole for the handle, so make sure you don't damage the door or glass when drilling. Also, you will need to go to a hardware store in your area. Purchase a "through bolt" and a screw to fill in any older handle screw holes that are visible.
