I have Herculite Sliding Patio Door (Anderson) from the 1980s. I have a universal handle which works fine except the latch is not long enough (3/4"). The original latch, which I am still using, is in very poor condition, is just over 1". Also I believe the mortise lock is broken. Can you help me identify parts to fix latch/lock until I can replace door.
In looking further at SWISCO website, I found what I believe may work. Door handle 82-035 (bronze) appears to be similar to original door handle and 82-211 appears to look like mortise latch and keeper. Is it possible to buy only tooth for latch and keeper or is it better to replace. I did some measuring and these items seem to fit my needs. Do you think these items will work?
Thank you for your assistance!

I do agree that the parts you picked out match, as long as the dimensions line up. Unfortunately, the individual components of the 82-211 set are not sold separately. I apologize for the inconvenience. |

We did carry longer versions of that thumb lever at one time, but they were discontinued and aren't made anymore. Most doors made these days have a "standard" distance between the handle and mortise, so extra length is rarely necessary. I'm afraid you will have to continue to use your original latch if the one that came with the 82-035 isn't long enough. |
