Hello, I have a patio door handle that I would like to switch out for one that has a keyed entry from the outside. I cannot find any information on the door re: the manufacturer (the only markings on the glass are from the tempering company, Guardian). Attached are photos showing all 3 sides + measurements. As far as I can tell, the space between the screws in the inside handle (with the brown) is 4 inches, middle to middle. The entire black plate attached to the door is 7 1/4" long and the handle is 9 1/4" long. I will use any handle that will fit the door that I can access with a key from the outside, though I would prefer an all-white one. Please let me know if you need any more pictures / measurements / any other info. Thanks! Beth

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much! That does look like a match. I would like to switch over to a white handle at the same time, so I might order the handle you sent as well. Any chance it is available already with the keyed lock included, or do I need to buy both separately and do the same installation as in the video you sent?
Also, the latch plate is missing from the wall side of the frame; I see a lot of options for latch plates and 'keepers' on your site; how do I know which one to get? The holes from my missing plate are 3" apart.
Thanks so much! Beth

Great, I'm glad they match up. There are actually a lot of possible options for your keeper. It would depend on the space available in your door. You can see our entire selection here.
In your situation, I would recommend going with the hardware suggested.
