Got and worked fine on my Pella

Fit perfectly in my sliding patio door. Old lock would fail to lock properly and was insecure. Also, it could not be opened or locked from the outside. This one has a lock with a regular house type key. Easy to install. But after moving and changing locks quite a few times, I still cannot understand why the bolts that go thru the door are so hard to install. They have thread all the way to the end, and it is very hard to line them up with threaded hole in the other side, which you cannot see, and cannot feel with the square end of the bolt All it takes is a little shoulder on the end of the bolt, so you can feel when it is properly lined up with the threaded hole. Manufacturers take notice!!!

Having removed and replaced a few parts of a sliding door handle and latch before, the overall install was pretty standard. As many others mentioned, the hardest part will likely be cutting the two metal bars (one for the inside, one attached to the lock) that insert into the latch. See the end of the this review for tips I used to make the install easier. It lines up with the price and does feel somewhat cheap when operating the interior lever to lock or unlock the door. It kind of moves freely for a bit before actually doing anything which just seems to be related to the design itself. You might have to play with the tightness of the two handle screws to get the best movement without the lever moving too freely or being too hard to move. The included lock feels pretty cheap as well and using the key feels really stiff. I think after a couple weeks of use it should break in, though. One nice thing that our prior handle didn't have is the ability to flip the actual lock around depending on the way your door opens. There's a metal bar with a screw in the exterior handle that you can remove to take the lock out and flip it. This is nice if you care about the orientation of the key when you insert it into the lock. Just a nice touch. Beyond the cheap feel of the lever and lock, the actual handles feel pretty good in use. Overall, it's not going to win any awards, but it's functional and relatively straightforward to install if you've replaced a handle and latch before. Install Tips: I would recommend a hacksaw for cutting the two bars since they're relatively cheap if you don't have one already. I used a clamp to hold down each piece and then took a few minutes to cut through the metal. It's not really hard, but something like tin snips won't work. Just hold each piece flush with the door edge so the metal bar goes over the latch area and then mark the halfway point. That's where you should cut. Start longer and work it down if you need to. The two bars should basically end up 50/50 inside the latch. As for the latch installation, I always put the latch into the "locked" position with a screwdriver before trying to insert it into the door. This way, you have something to grab onto when putting it into the door. Also - tie a string around the latch when it's sticking out and put a screwdriver through the lower handle holes from one side to the other in the door. Both of these should help prevent you from dropping the latch down into the door. Finally, you might want to get longer screws to attach the latch to the door. The included screws are really small and were maybe 1/3 of the size of my prior latch's screws. I was able to reuse the longer screws and it seemed to hold on a lot better.

The sliding patio door set works perfectly but the only problem is it won't lock the door. It will lock but you can't take the key out once it is locked.

Not a good kit. To start like others have said you cannot use both the internal lock and the external key lock at the same time. I had to punch the pin out of the interior lock and shave down the external key pin to get them both to work at the same time. Also the instructions are not helpful at all. You can’t screw it in all the way either or else it will bind up and won’t be able to lock. Just very poorly designed and I wouldn’t buy again. At the end of the day I got it to work for what I need but not without modification, and for what this cost it’s ridiculous I have to modify it. I wish I gave my money to another company.

The handle itself is nice. I purchased this because the lock broke on our sliding patio door and we didn’t have an exterior lock on it so I thought, rather than just get a new mortice lock, might as well get a new handle with a cylinder lock and keys. As expected I had to trim the metal piece from the exterior lock inside AND the interior switch to lock it from inside. The piece of metal coming from the exterior lock is notched so I was able to use tin snips to cut that with, but there are no notches coming from the little slider that’s on the inside. I’m not sure if the metal is thicker or because it’s not not the tin snipped wouldn’t work but basically the tinsnips don’t work on that. I had to buy a dremol to cut that piece with. I have no idea what everyone else is using to cut these pieces with but youre going to have to cut them. What I did was set the outside handle on the door and make a mark in the very middle of the door using the top screw that holds the mortice lock. Then I did the same with the little handle on the interior and made a mark halfway through the door again using the bottom screw on the mortice as a reference. Taking the old handle off and installing new handle is extremely simple, but because of this locking mechanism, it was a bit more difficult. My advice is buy or borrow a dremol and wear safety glasses while cutting so the sparks don’t blind you. I’m very curious what others are doing, especially people who are not handy or don’t use power tools. The instructions said nothing about it and the video obviously makes it look easy lol. I’m giving them three stars just because I don’t know what I was supposed to do if I didn’t have one of these tools And it took longer and was harder to install because of this. At least notch the piece of metal on the interior handle so I could have used tin snips..

This handle/lock set fit my door well. I didn’t even have to change out the latch part. Once installed, it worked smoothly and has a sturdy feel to it. The installation does require some cutting of the flat, metal pieces that engage with the latch assembly. They are too long, likely to accommodate thicker doors so I’m sure it will need to be cut regardless of the type of door you have. I put the lever on one side and the lock set on the outside as they would be installed. Then I marked them both where they intersected in the middle. The idea is to cut them so they both engage the latch assembly. Cut them too short and one or both will not engage the latch assembly. Cut them too long and they will either not fully tighten down or will bind (or both) as they butt up against each other in the center. Once marked, I put them in a vice and cut with a dremel tool (as others have mentioned). If no dremel, a pair of clamping pliers and a hack saw will work too. It will be more of a challenge hold them while cutting though. Once cut to length, the rest is pretty simple. You may want to file off the burrs after cutting. It works great once installed. Key is smooth as is the latch engagement. I have been using it for a couple weeks now and no issues. I will update if anything changes.

This is a good replacement handle, and adds a lock from what our door came with. Very similar in quality and construction to the original handle that did not have a lock. Comes with three different length screws. It does not come with instructions, but I was able to find helpful information on the web.

This fit our door perfectly after the old lock broke,. still works and I'd buy again if needed.

Will not fit returned

A little mobile when you fasten to patio door: my last solitary handle had a platform base to stabilize the handle better. But it works ok… just unsure how long it will last

It is what I am looking for ( my patio door frame width 1.5 inch). The menu is notoriously short - have to do mind storming myself. In overall a good product that you can not find at home depot

I’m giving this three stars because while it eventually worked, getting it installed was a massive headache. The screws provided with the set were not the right length for a standard door thickness. If I tightened them all the way, the lock lever would jam and wouldn't move at all. If I loosened them even slightly so the lever could function, the handles were wobbly and wouldn't stay secure on either side. I ended up spending a lot of time on a "manual fix." I had to go out and buy longer screws and then carefully cut them down to the exact size needed to get the tension just right. It was a huge hassle for what should have been a simple replacement. I only kept it because I couldn't find another compatible model locally—it was definitely a "beggars can't be choosers" situation. It works now, but be prepared to do some extra hardware store runs to make it fit correctly.
