Will 82-262 work for me?

Question

The latch broke on my sliding door handle and I am wondering if you recommend the 82-262 or another model.

My guess is that the doors are original to the house, so probably 1958. Can't find any sign of a manufacturer.

Pictures are from the other door that is still working. Let me know if you need better shots. What might not be clear is that in the current setup the latch engages/disengages inside the body of the door rail.

I believe you have the "Ozark" patio door lock used by Capitol manufacturing. This handle is no longer available, unfortunately, though I admit it was very durable. Usually, the only part that went bad was the keeper, which we actually still have, our 89-001. If your handle does need to be replaced I'm not sure if 82-262 would work on your door. In the past I found that the 82-005 handle set was the best replacement. You would need to drill new holes to install the 82-005.
