sliding patio door lock

Handy Person from Littleton, CO

I have a dbl lock on my slider that has broken. The door is made by Accent who went out of business. I have found a match for the configuration however the replacement part I found on line seems to be longer in length.

The original lock has the brand name of "VANGARD" stamped. any helpyou can offer is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there, thanks for writing in. I'm afraid I can't determine what you might need based on your description. Can you show me some pictures of the hardware you are looking to replace?

Ah, thank you for the follow up picture. I'm afraid we don't carry any mortise locks in this style. I'm very sorry we couldn't be of greater assistance.

I find your response very interesting. Per your website you show no less than 5 different parts that are double mortised.

P/N 82-238,239,259,260,265, all of different sizes.

Im curious how you have no mortised locks of the style I need.

Firstly, you'll note that the hooks on your mortise lock point away from each other, which makes the majority of our mortise locks ineligible as replacements. The only two that remain are our 82-238 and 82-268B, which are simply very different from the lock you show. They are designed to work specifically with our 82-080 handle set. You're welcome to try them, but I can almost guarantee that they will not work.

0would it be possible to change the entire lock, mortise, catch plate and handle to fit the door?

We don't recommend this, as the hardware we carry is not designed to be used on your door. You are welcome to try it, but we unfortunately can not make any guarantees. I apologize for the inconvenience.
