Here is a photo of the white cover and the underlying lock mechanism (which is broken). I simply need 1 replacement for this. Please let me know if you have such an item and what it would cost to ship it to me to Tacoma, WA 98443.

Thanks,

Devin

Hello, Devin. I'm sorry to say that your part isn't made anymore, but I believe that you can use our 90-252 mechanism and 90-253 cover as a replacement. Carefully review the pictures and information we show on their respective store pages and let me know if you had any questions.

Thank you Tom. I don't see how this particular lock could work as the distance between the mounting screw holes on my lock is 2 1/8". Perhaps another lock model will be more suitable?

I'm afraid that's the only lock we have that's similar to yours. However, the 90-252 does have multiple different screw hole positions. I would double check to make sure none of them can work; make sure to measure from the center of each hole, not their edges.

If none of the hole positions on the 90-252 can work then we don't have anything that will. I'm very sorry that we can't offer a better match.

Thanks tom. After a pretty extensive search, I ordered your lock and cover. I'll make it work somehow. Thanks for your efforts.
