Thumb Lock Lever on Pella sliding glass door (model with blinds inside panes of glass

A quick learner from New Tork says:

The door is in the LOCKED position. The Thumb Lock lever freely spins without opening the lock. Is this part easy to replace by a novice, or should I have a service person come to do the repair?

Thank you for your help.

Hello, Joanne. I personally find the 83-122 set to be very simple to install. It only takes one screw, and the bulk of the handle keeps the internal parts "sandwiched" to the door. That's really all there is to it.

You say a screen door. The broken thumb lock is on the sliding glass door. Is this the same part number for a glass sliding door?

Thank you for your help.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding. You had posted this question under our 83-122, which is used exclusively for screen doors. I don't think I've ever seen this used on a glass door. Can you confirm that this is what you have?

If not, can you show me a photo of the part in question?
