Hey Frank. Start by looking at our 82-211. Compare all the dimensions listed below to your lock, and let me know if anything differs.

Same question (do they all fail in summer)? Looks to be 82-211. Assume this part is reversible like the OP asked - latch is bottom not top as pictured.

If the latch on your mortise is on the bottom, you can just flip it over. These are also reversible and can be used on either left or right hand applications. In other words, as long as your dimensions and general design match the above diagram, then I am very confident that this part will work for you.
