So I have never locked my storm door in all these years and when I decided to start I stuck the key in the lock on the outside handle and the key pulled out the lock from the handle about 1/2". It won't go back in and I can't lock from the outside. But the mechanism can be locked from the inside. It's that protruding piece that is stuck out on the outside. (see three pics attached ) What do I need to fix this. At first my handy man thought we might have to get the new mortise but now he thinks it might just need a new outside handle with a new key. Anyway, this is the style of the handle and it is antique brass I think. Please davise asap.
Thank you. Jeri
