sliding glass door mortise lock

Question

Hello. I have an older sliding glass door. I need the mortise lock and new handles to go with it. The problem is that when taking it apart, the lock fell down to the bottom of the inside of the door. I only have this picture for reference. I do know that the Home Depot E 2121 goes in halfway and then isn't quite slim enough. Can you help me find a replacement? Thanks, Laura

Hey there. This is almost certainly the 82-218 Mortise Lock (falling into the door is not an uncommon occurrence with these). Look it over and see what you think.
