Sliding glass door handle broke

My sliding glass door handles broke on each side. The house was built in 1990 and I believe it is the same door. I don't see any numbers or brand that is on it. I have been looking at different handles and seem to have the biggest problem finding the same latch part to lock it. I sent a picture of the latch off and on the door. Along with the handles. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this handle set isn't made anymore but I believe that you can use our 82-036 handle to replace it. The style is different, obviously, but it still functions in more or less the same way. Take a look and let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

I actually ordered that one that I will be returning it because the latch part that allows it to lock does not match up. It wouldn't be able to lock. The handles would work but not the part that locks it. As you see in the picture part of the latch goes through the door. Is there any other part or set that would work. Thanks.

Thank you for elaborating. I believe I understand the problem you're having now. If you haven't tried this already, you could try to use the 82-036 that you purchased with your original keeper if it is still in good condition.

If that doesn't work out for you, the alternate options would be to purchased our 82-005 surface mounted handle set and 89-012 side mounted keeper that should line up better with the space you have. Keep in mind that you would need to drill new installation holes to mount the 82-005, while being very careful not to hit the glass in your door. Take a look at the parts I've mentioned and see if one of these solutions could work for you.
