You are welcome. Yeah, it's hard to find the exact model you need at local stores. I had the same issue. There are a variety of good options online, though. Glad the link helped you out. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Not sure why they break down over time. This one has lasted almost 17 years so that’s a pretty good lifespan. We use that door and lock multiple times a day and the sun hits it for most of the day to sunset since it’s directly west. But yeah, I wish things lasted longer!
The white buttons you're pushing with your finger spin no matter how hard I push with even pliers. It's to the point the screws are just about stripped out and I'm thinking about using a drill bit through the screw. Any ideas on how to get the screw handles out when they're so stuck like that?
Yeah, it sounds like you might need to drill through the screw to get it off. Be careful and choose the right sized bit so you don't do any unnecessary damage!
The cylinder is usually very easy to replace. If your current handle is in good shape, there's no reason to replace more than the cylinder. If you need it matched to other locks, you'd need a locksmith, but it can be done.
You might be able to use a pick to get in there and turn it. Also a small flathead might do the same thing. You should be able to move it where the lock is, but you've got to get the right angle and tool to fit in there. Good luck on your project!
Great question! I have never seen one with a key for a sliding screen door. But I know my front door has one for the swinging screen door. Can anyone else help answer this question?
I subbed, but I'm curious, how do you have ads on your videos when your subs are just over 400 with only 150+ views on this video? The prerequisite is 1000 subs and 4000 hours watch time.
I think you bought the wrong lock. There are two styles, 45 degrees and vertical. Look at 2:55 , they don't match. Now with the new lock, your lever is in a different position.
On this type of handle it doesn't make much difference. 99% of the time the 45° is the right one. Personally, I would have flipped the mortise lock to lock up. If the door has room to be lifted, pointing down is not as secure. I would have also kept the old keeper because there wasn't any wiggle room. The lock does have adjustment, but they usually come already maxed out. You need a little wiggle room or it's likely to have problems in the future.
@@MCFIXIT yeah so it was the piece that you use to screw the lock into the door, which is the long flat piece. I ended up being able to push the lock down into the door, then angling it to pull the whole thing out. Very strange!
