Hello! I am in a real bind. My house closes in two weeks and my sliding glass patio door sash has broken. I need to replace the lash lever and the rectangular stem. The lock was old and over time more and more pressure was needed to open the lash lever; eventually it snapped. I replaced the old mortise lock, only to discover that the rectangular stem portion (the part that allows the lash to turn the lock) is too thick. So I need those two parts desperately. This door is about 12 years old and I've had a bear of a time finding the replacement parts. Please help me! ?

Thanks for contacting us, Brian. I'm afraid I don't recognize this handle set, but we may be able to help. Can you tell me the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center? Can you also show me a picture of the original mortise lock? |

Thanks! I believe you can get our 82-030 handle to work. This is fully compatible with the mortise that you purchased. It also has a 3-15/16" hole spacing, when you measure center-to-center, which I suspect is the case for your original. All a patio door handle has to do is fit on the same screw holes and interact with the mortise. The 82-030 should be able to do both of these things, so I think it's your best bet. |
