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 onHow 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.

Permit fit for my replacement. Good quality. Easy install.

My original door part had a rounded base (that goes under the handle), and this one has defined corners on the edges of the base. No matter, it works perfectly, after having checked that the basic measurements provided match those of my original. There are slight visual differences, that make no difference in the appearance or function when installed. It isn't machined to watch part specifications, but it doesn't need to be, it works smoothly, and is comfortable to the touch. It was easy to install, and together with a replacement mechanism, my slider now opens and closes with ease, and latches securely, as it should! Great company, quick shipping- THANK YOU for making this easy!

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.

Quality material but The stem was too long so I trimmed it with bolt cutters.

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.

quality is good even if there's a bit of flashing that could've been cleaned off. no complaints.
