Sliding 5' door handle

Question

This is just a typical 5 foot sliding glass door that came with the house we bought. The handle on it is not correct and doesn't lock. We have to use pvc pipe to hold it secure. Hoping you can help us. We bought a few handles from local hardware stores and they didn't fit.

We may have something that can work for you, but we'll need a bit more information first. Specifically, can you tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center, both for where the handle goes and for where the mortise lock goes? That will allow us to find something that will fit.
