Hello! It looks like it's just your outer handle that broke, so I recommend our 82-044. I'm very confident that this will replace your original. If you wanted the whole handle set, then see our 82-035.
You should also check the condition of your rollers and track. The kind of damage I see on your handle usually occurs when the door isn't rolling properly. This causes you to use extra force on the handle which, inevitably, cracks it right at the base, just like yours. You may just need to clean and lubricate the rollers and track. Debris and dirt could simply be clogging them up. In a worst case scenario, they may need to be replaced entirely.
Definitely look into this. If you don't address this issue then your new handle will break sooner than later for the same reasons.
Yes! These days we recommend the 82-030. The design is a little different, but it is identical in function to the products recommended above. It will also be compatible with all your existing hardware. I'm very confident that it will work for your particular application.
You're welcome! Please feel free to reach out if you had any other questions. We're always here to assist.
I'm afraid I don't know what glazing this door uses. Most of the glazing we sell is meant for windows, not doors, but I'd still be happy to look into it for you.
To start, we'll need you to remove a small, undamaged sample of the glazing in question and show us a clear photo of the end profile. Written dimensions of the end profile would also be appreciated. The video below will explain precisely what we need.
The visible part of the stop is right at about 1/2" x 1/4" deep. The fin that dives into the track snaps off anytime you barely apply pressure. I believe the band for the insulated pane has melted and it fused it to the door. The stop looks straight though, like it doesn't do a 90 degree turn back behind the glass. I've attached some photos.
It looks like product code 55-015-3 to me. But I'll need at least 4- 74" lengths. Unless I piece them.
Thanks for these photos! I agree, our 55-015-3 appears to be our best match. The design is of course still very different, so I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but I don't think there's anything better in our inventory. Review its dimensions to see how well they compare.
I don't know what the roller might be, unfortunately, or who made it. We sell a ton of rollers so we may have what you need, but we will require a photo of the original assembly removed beforehand. Even knowing the manufacturer name likely won't help narrow down what roller is necessary. A physical reference of the original is almost always mandatory for this kind of project.
As for the foggy glass, you will need to have the glass replaced and resealed. A local glass shop that services patio doors ought to be able to help.
