Latch to go with 82-316
Does your 82-316 product come with the mechanism that slips into the door? (the part that contains the latch that physicaly locks the door) The keyed lock and the Thumb latch work just fine. It's the interior part that I really need.

anderson window replacement sash part number
I would like to order replacement parts from you for an Anderson window sash. The only identifier, other than the patent number, that I can find on the sash are the stampings DD 5 27 85. Also, is there a left and right unit? They seem to be identical.
