This keeper looks like our 82-249. In that case, see mortise locks like our 82-265, 82-260, or 82-239. Without seeing the original I can't confirm which of these you might need--they all have the same lock bodies, but different face plate dimensions. Compare to your door's existing mortise hole and mounting holes; see if any of these could work for you.

Looks like the 11" - model 82-265 is the lock that is in the door now. (Measurements are correct).
The part that is missing is the keeper attached to the door frame not the sliding door lock itself.
The problem now is that there is a Key lock on the outside of the slider and I also do not have the key. The only way that I can get the lock to engage (from the inside) is if I push in the pin that is protruding from the lock in the middle of the mortise lock. Of coarse I can't do this while the sliding door is closed.
Without the key to you suggest that I buy a whole new assembly. I really do not need a lock with a keyhole on the outside - I just want to be able to lock and unlock the sliding door from the inside of the house.

Forgive me, by sliding door latch I thought you meant the mortise lock, and since the keeper is in your photos I wasn't clear that was actually the missing part. The keeper that works with all these locks is, as I said, the 82-249.
Now, if you're missing the keys for the outside keyed pull, you have two options: one is to contact a locksmith to see if they can help furbish you replacement keys. The second option is to replace the key cylinder with our 82-310, which also comes with new keys. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks you for helping me decide which keeper fits my slider.
On a separate note I need a replacement screen for the same slider door.
Photo attached.
Do do sell them? or do you know what company sells them?
Please advise.

I am very happy to hear that the suggested parts will work for you. Unfortunately, we do not sell springs; I recommend contacting a local hardware store for these, or even the original manufacturer of the window.
