Not sure how the old latch broke given these are all solid metal. Perhaps the old one was made more cheaply as I noticed the lever that is inserted was also shorter. But this was a perfect fit and replacement and I hope it lasts many years.

Perfect replacement for broken one

We came home from vacation and found that the lock on our sliding door was very loose. It locked but there was something off about it. When we took apart the handle we found the locking pin was bent. We have a Nuconn sliding patio door. The original door was installed in the early 2000's. We have replaced the handle twice. The last time we used a Prime-Line C 1225 Mortise Style Sliding Patio Door Handle Set. It fit great. Since just the lock was loose we decided to order just the lock. It fit well and the lock is no longer loose. Very easy to install.

My Pella sliding glass door had a similar latch which snapped in half (mine had a half-moon shaped area where you press it with your thumb). This replacement part fit my door perfectly. It was a simple fix. I just removed the existing handle by removing two screws, slid in the new latch and screwed the handle back on. I did not have to replace the entire door handle/lock/latch mechanism which was a relief. I wish this came in tan since my door is tan colored. I'll probably paint it later with fingernail polish or something.

Great durable product that did exactly what I needed it to. Hoping the plate that extends through the sliding glass door doesn’t snap off of this one, but it’s been installed for 8 months and no issues so far.

Smaller than original and didn't fit into slot in the mechanism. Had to file it smaller

I got very lucky I found this item it looked like in the picture exactly like the one that broke off on my sliding glass door. I watched a YouTube video before ordering on How to replace this latch mechanism and it looked pretty simple. I literally had to remove two screws pull the old mechanism out put the new one in put the handle back on and it totally works. This may not be the case for everyone as I know sliding glass doors are made by many different manufacturers but for me this under five dollar product saved me hundreds and not having to replace my entire door.

アメリカのトレーラーハウスのパティオスライドドアのキーロックが樹脂製で割れて困っていましたが、この部品を見つけダメ元で交換してみたところうまく適合しました。 全てが行けるかは分かりませんが、アメリカ製のパティオスライドドアに広く適合しそうです。

2 of patio door locks were broken. We were putting off fixing them, using wood in the track to “lock” them, as we thought we had to replace the entire door handle mechanism. Turns out this part was all we needed. Saved us a iot of money. Hubby had to make a small adjustment to the inside of the handle so it would sit flush against the door but that wasn’t a huge job. Very happy that we can properly lock our doors now.

It fits perfect to my old patio lock.

it fit well on my old patio door lock

This metal part replaced a vinyl lever which broke after years of wear and tear. The internal portion of my doorhandle required some very minor trimming to ensure the lever fit and move properly but otherwise installation was simple and it works as well or better than the original lever.
