Sliding glass door lock

Question

Hello, I am looking to see how I can fix broken pins on the locking mechanism on our sliding glass door. It looks like part #82-244 is the correct replacement but the pins that the screws would screw into to hold this piece into place have broken . Any suggestions? Is there maybe a different kind of handle I can switch to instead? My screw holes on the handle are 4" o.c.

Hello,

Although we do not carry the posts, I believe that you should be able to pick them up at a local hardware store. You will need two "through bolts", along with the proper size and length of screw needed to fit the bolts. I also believe that you'll need to remove the handle side door stile on the patio door to install the "bolts". You might want to have a professional do the work if you are not confident with this type of repair to ensure that you don't accidentally damage the door or the glass.
