Thank you for the video. I hired a locksmith to replace my sliding glass door lock....had to wait a week for the part "to come in." When it finally did and they did the job, they put it in so the latch was upside down. Needless to say, the lock didn't work. Paid $122 for 5 minutes of work and $35 for the part. When I called the next day to tell them, "Something is wrong with this lock, it's not latching." I got a recording. No one ever called me back. 3 days later, (which is today) I searched online on how to do the job myself and found your video....5 minutes later....presto, job done. Your demonstration made it so easy to follow. I wish I had thought of looking online before i hired the incompetent, unprofessional "locksmith." Thanks again. You saved me from another day of stressing about no lock on my door. ❤ You're great! Have a wonderful day.😊

I was able to get a thin metal dental pick on the broken side of the spring, lift it out with the assistance of needle nose plyers - and without disconnecting it from the lock - bend one layer of the spring over, create a new hook and reattach it to the hole on the outside of the metal housing where it belonged. I know this might fail again, but at least I now know what to do.

Ahhh..."needle nose" vise grips is definitely the key. I don't have any, so tried my regular ones...unfortunately, as I attempted to push inwards to remove the old one, the pliers slipped off the latch, and down it went -- it will be down there forever now. I was more careful installing the new one, and just grabbed onto the latch from the front side (with my regular vise grips), and really torqued them down so they wouldn't slip off. Thanks for the video -- was very helpful!

Did find a replacement from Lowes, but the cheap screws the kit provided allowed for the top screw to break off inside the hole, so now I can’t screw in the top screw (or take broken piece out). Otherwise working. Should I try some glue to secure the top of the lock insert to the door? Pretty stable with one bottom screw.

Thanks for putting this video together. I followed your direction and the door is fixed. Only hard part was angling the old latch to pull it out, but after that smooth sailing!
Nice and slow and clear! Good job on the video. Thank you for posting.

The manufacturers site sells this replacement mortise lock, but I would have had to use the wooden dowel on the floor to lock it while I waited for the part to be shipped. I never would have guessed I could get the part at ACE. Thanks.

I just had the exact same thing happen to the lock on my 25 year old slider. Thank you so much for the in depth instructions... You da man!!! ;)
Ahhh..."needle nose" vise grips is definitely the key. I don't have any, so tried my regular ones...unfortunately, as I attempted to push inwards to remove the old one, the pliers slipped off the latch, and down it went -- it will be down there forever now. I was more careful installing the new one, and just grabbed onto the latch from the front side (with my regular vise grips), and really torqued them down so they wouldn't slip off. Thanks for the video -- was very helpful!
You’re the man. Appreciate it!
Thanks man...great video...clear and concise...I recommend to others !

Very helpful, thanks so much!
The website has a PDF that shows how to replace this mortise lock. They pushed an extra screwdriver through one the holes to hold the lock in place so it wouldn't drop into the door. I like your idea with the vice grips better!

Thank you for the video. After watching and replacing the latch, it locked for only a couple months and now it is broken again! 😭 might be a different/bigger issue?
I replace mine tomorrow, but if I do drop the lock in the door it stays. I’m just gonna put the new one on there and call it a day. wish me luck lol

Great video. Unfortunately, I used locking plier that wasn’t needle nose and lost the old locking mechanism in the door. Did find a replacement from Lowes, but the cheap screws the kit provided allowed for the top screw to break off inside the hole, so now I can’t screw in the top screw (or take broken piece out). Otherwise working. Should I try some glue to secure the top of the lock insert to the door? Pretty stable with one bottom screw.

You could try some super glue.
This looks like a very helpful video. My problem is that the latch is stuck in the locked position so I'm not able to open the door to have access to both sides at once. I'm afraid it's not a one person job at this point.
THANKYOU!
