Pella patio door latch

Question

Hello, I bought a Pella patio door replacement latch 82-253, it fit my lock system and door handle. However, in order to lock the door I have to flip the latch upwards. its already up with the door unlock, this making it impossible to lock the door. I think I need the latch in reverse in order for it to function, is that possible? I am not sure if I am explaining this clear enough but thanks in advance See attached picture.

Thanks again
Jo.

Hey, Jo. It sounds like you might have wanted the 82-252 instead. This is for an OX operated door, rather than the 82-253 which is for an XO operated door.

XO and OX basically tell you how the door operates when viewed from the outside; the X is the moving panel and the O is the stationary panel. In other words, if your stationary panel is on the left and the moving panel is on the right, you want our 82-252.
