I have a patio door that I would like to add a keylock to. It has 4-15/16" mounting screws. It is on a 1-1/8" thick door. Photos are attached. I think that the right part is set 82-081 https://www.swisco.com/Keyed-Mortise-Style-Set/pd/Patio-Glass-Door-Replacement-Locking-Handles/82-081. I can send more information if needed.
Thanks,

I do agree in recommending the 82-081 keyed mortise style lockset as well for a replacement. For your mortise lock, I would also like for you to consider our 82-269 to see if this looks like a match.

Thank you for the advice. I was not intending to replace the mortise. It is mounted internal to the door. How would I replace it?

I'll admit, I'm not super familiar with this mortise lock as it doesn't come up that often in discussions. I'm fairly sure that to replace this lock, you have to remove the a cover that runs vertically down the door. This will let you unmount the old mortise lock and replace it with the new one. I'm not 100% certain this is the case with your door, but if this process doesn't seem right, let me know and I'll see to it that another colleague who might have more familiarity with this mortise lock looks this over. Many thanks.
