Patio Door Lock

Professional from Brentwood, Ca
This is for a client and the existing lock maybe 18 years old...do you recognize this and do you have anything to replace it?

Our 82-030 can replace the handle set with the top-mounted thumb lever without adaptation as long as there is an offset locking bar behind the thumb latch that engages with the mortise at the center of the handle set. Unforutnately, we do not carry a suitable replacement for the mortise lock itself.

What's confusing is that the original handle doesn't look like it has a centered latch since the thumb lever itself is, for whatever reason, mounted above both screw holes. The reality is that when that thumb lever is turned, an internal arm mechanism reaches down the spindle and turns it. I recommend removing the handle set to confirm that this is the case.

Our 82-030 works the same way but its thumb lever is centered already. It doesn't need that additional (and redundant) arm mechanism. Take a look and see what you think. Thanks for posting.
