Sliding door lock

Home Owner from Dallas
Roughly 12.5" from end to end, recessed into the door. I am not sure if I need a new mortise or a new lock/handle. The door lock needs to be jiggled up and down  for it to unlock. Any ideas on what needs replaced? 
thanks!

Thanks for posting. Remove the handle set from the door and inspect the thumb lever. If it appears damage, then the handle set should be replaced--see the 82-090 or keyed 82-087. You also could just buy the thumb lever, the 82-107, but note it only comes in white. While the handle set is removed, try manually throwing the mortise lock with a slotted screwdriver. If it doesn't budge, then you need a new mortise lock. See if the 82-260 matches up.
