Hello help!

I broke the thumb latch (see attached images) of my patio sliding door and need help to purchase a replacement. I don't know the manufacturer of my sliding door but I know it was installed in 2006.

If I cannot obtain the part I will be willing to buy a full set including the handle and the keys.

The lever is 2-3/4" long and has a 3/4" long twisted metal as you can see attached.
Thanks for your help

Sure, take a look at our 82-106. Could you use this as a replacement?

Thank You...
The 82-106 is closest match but it has a straight 13/16" stem while my original piece that broke has a twisted stem (as in the attached picture I submitted).. Is the stem removable so I can swith?
Please advise.. Thanks

I don't believe your stem is meant to be twisted. Actually, not that I give it a second look, there is a good chance it twisted like that due to a faulty mortise lock. You may want to test your mortise lock out to make sure it's working properly.
