Hey, I have a sliding door handle from the 60s.i was looking to replace it do to not having a key to the lock. The top bolt it is broken inside the back end and just need a new one. I saw on the forms that someone else has a similar issue and was told to get a certain part that was 3 inch while I have a 3.25 inch.

Hey there, I'll do my best to advise.

Unfortunately, I don't believe your Ador handle set with the 3.25" hole centers can be found anymore. This is a very old style door and replacement parts for it aren't really made anymore. My best suggestion would be to use a surface mounted handle set like our 82-005 or 82-016 and just redrill for the installation holes. I don't think you'll find this exact handle anywhere, so you'll need to focus on a modern retrofit.
