    Default My door lock broke. HELP

    Hey guys a little piece of metal in my locking mechanism broke. I have tried everything to fix it and can't figure out how to fix it! I tried Home Depot, lowes, and ace to find a replacement with no luck.

    can anyone make this part for me?

    Patio latch?
    I might be able to find a replacement assembly. Or that part can be welded pretty easily

    If that is a patio door lock, can't you just buy a new lock to slide into the door?

    Jb weld wouldn't work, yes patio door, this is a double latch huge lock assembly.. Nothing came close to matching it in the stores I mentioned. If someone could make or weld I would be willing to mail and pay for mailing it back or meeting someone.

    Any particular reason that JB weld or some type of steel putty wouldn't work???

    Weld it and file it flat.
    If you are handy enough, buy a piece of metal at hardwarestore, drill holes and file the outline, smooth with a sand drum.

    Cheapest fix.........Drill a small hole in each piece, pop river a connecting link to them.

    OR a quick spot weld.

    The shape indicates it doesn't have much room. You'd need a large blob for it to even work. Actual welding would make this cake

    I see your point. As mentioned earlier, just get a piece of metal and cut, grind and file til its the right shape and size. Any lowes or home depot will have a piece for that.
