Patio door handle

Question

I replaced my patio door handle and mortise lock. The exterior handle screw insert hold the handle away from the door which exposes the holes in the door just enough that I'm afraid that wasps, bees, etc will enter. Do you carry an exterior pull handle that sets flush? Or do you carry a thin plate to insert behind the handle to cover the holes?
Also, I will be ordering the locks that are installed along the bottom. The one that was on my door had plate behind it. Do you have those?

I see you were looking at our 82-035. Is this what you purchased? It sounds like the screw insert is just a little too large for the holes in the door. See if you could use a rat tail file to widen the hole just a little to better accept the handle set. This is assuming that the 82-035 was the proper replacement for your handle set. Was it an exact match?

As for the bottom lock, can you show us a picture of it? That will allow us to find a good match.
