Patio door lock won’t engage. How to move it to correct position?

Posted by admin
Sola123 asked:


This aggravating thing! I am selling my house, and although this lock never worked when I bought the house, the inspector for the new buyer says it has to be fixed.

Simple right? It appears that the receiving part is too high for the lock thingy to engage. I removed the receiving end that has a rectangle opening, but how to know where exactly to mount it?

I tried a little higher, a little lower. There must be a trick. I can’t see or mark exactly where to mount it, since it’s hidden when the door is closed. You can’t see the lock at all.

Could it be the ‘hook’ part itself that is not staying in the rectangle receptacle? How to know?

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Jacob
