My Jen-weld sliding door lock broke. I can’t find this brand to replace it. Any ideas?
I can do it myself if I have the right hardware ( no matter what my husband thinks, lol)
Hi Carol;
The first thing that you need to know is whether the handle and latch is broken or the lock itself.
The handle and latch is a custom color, and its keyed which makes it hard to find. Most likely, only available from Jeld-Wen.
It would be good to take the handle off completely and try to operate the lock just with a screwdriver blade.
That would rule out which of the two components is bad. I am guessing its the lock because usually a spring breaks inside and the two hasps no longer come out when you try to lock the door.
The lock itself appears to be a available on the Strybuc website but the picture they provide is really small and has very little detail.
