### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm
*by O***9 on January 13, 2022*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement

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