I ordered 82-261B but it is the wrong size. I am concerned that this may not be best part. Using non-mortise handle since the lock is round, not sure 4 15/16 will cover holes on outside of door.

A surface mounted handle is definitely the way to go. Take a look at our 82-005. This might be a better option for your patio door. It also has a 4-15/16" hole spacing, but the base is a little bigger than the 82-261B and may do a better job covering your old holes.
