Looks like I have a similar if not the same lock as the Product Code: 82-080
I am confused as to how to install it. Got any videos?
I see how everything is supposed to fit but when I put the male end of the locking mechanism through the square hole inside the door it does not move the lock up and down

I agree, the 82-080 looks like what you have here. We don't have a video on it, unfortunately, but it's not that difficult to install. You just put it on the door and screw it in. Note that our screws come in from the sides.
As for the mortise lock not working, check to make sure that the anti-slam button in the middle of the mortise lock is depressed. The reason this function exists is to prevent you from closing the door while the hooks were extended, which had a tendency to break the door in all kinds of messy ways. It happened more often than you'd think. The anti-slam button is a quality of life upgrade present on most modern mortise locks.
When it comes to brittle vinyl, there's not much advice we can give other than you need to take it slow and steady. If you're afraid you might crack it, I would suggest having a professional do it for you.
