Atrium Door: Lock Replacement Hardware Set - Polished Brass

My old, no longer functioning "Atrium Door Set" had a broken return spring for the latching pawl. When the new "set" arrived I removed the old set and before installing the new one I depressed the spring operated pawl latch which had broken on my old 'latch set' and it would not return: I thought, "Oh no!" On close inspection of the new pawl and spring I determined the problem could be resolved by a slight spring adjustment forcing it back under the latching pawl with a small screwdriver: It worked! I then sprayed a light weight "White Lithium Grease" (do not use WD-40 it is not a lubricant but rather a cleaner which soon dries out) on the moving parts and installed it in the door. It fit perfectly with everything lining up exactly like the old "set": Looks Great and Works Great; couldn't be happier!

Fit perfectly. Works perfectly so far. Had the old lockset apart twice in the last 32 years to have a new part put in; this installation was easy and straightforward compared to disassembling the old lockset for repairs. Everything was included for a complete replacement including screws, a new strike plate, and the right size allen wrench to remove the handles and retighten them after passing through the hole. It was helpful that I had removed the old lockset a couple of times and was therefore familiar with it.

Pro's Easy to install. Instructions simply to follow - especially the part to turn the lock cylinder to fit a left side hinge door (needed right hinge & it came that way) Con's Handle kept slipping off, even after retightening small allen screw. Eventually just removed plastic gasket-which made the range shorter Addedum: When removing old lock, I suggest looking at the new deadbolt cylinder. The lock must be turned to a partial position in order to be removed. There is a small locking device that must be flush in order for it to easily slide out of the door Do not think that it is frozen, and use a hammer etc - you will only damage the door

I have an apartment above my garage that was added about 35 years ago and had this lock set on the door. It started to malfunction and would not always lock or unlock with out it taking several attempts. Decided to replace it before it involved a lock$mith. I little more to it than a standard door lock but it fit perfect. The one that was there said "The Atrium Lock" on the door plate and this does not but either way it fit perfectly. One thing worth noting is the old one sure seemed more solid when you turned the lock. They just don't make them like they used to which is not much of a surprise. I was really worried it would not fit right and I'd have to keep looking but JOB DONE!

Pass this up!! The lock is not original! The striker once reversed has no recoil spring that is in place. It does not put it a position to be fully extended .The original lasted 20 yrs. i kept the old one and expect to have to hire a locksmith in a short time to repair parts of this assembly The handle has squared edges and difficult to hold without pain.One could contract a locksmith to take apart the old lock and replace the spring. but you cant do that Yourself the new one is braded in and has to be ground to release it from the cover plate.Very disappointing.

I was surprised when this lock arrived because it was an exact replacement for an atrium door lock that was probably around 30 years old. The new lock slid into place without any modification to the door or the frame. I was very happy since I had tried to find this lock at the local Box Store with no success and was told I would probably have to replace the entire door which I was not looking forward to doing. As a couple of other reviewers noted, the handle is not as smooth but considering the alternative it's a change that I can live with.

The door was installed in the 80s and the lock hardware recently failed. Too a ton of time figuring out this was the right one but I’m glad I did. An exact match!

First, let me say, we were replacing an old lockset & searched for the exact make/model/etc. Found it here & was delighted. My husband put it on - installation went very smoothly & everything in great working order. This was summer of 2015. Then, about 6 months ago, the little screws that hold the handles & lock on began to work themselves out. First, it was the inside handle. No worries - I got a little bitty tool (allen wrench?) & tightened the tiny little screw. Then, the lock screw worked itself out & the lock handle fell off. So, found a coordinating size tool & tightened it back up. Then, the inside handle came off again; then the outside handle; then the inside; then the outside! This is absolutely ridiculous & as a consequence, I've been locked out of the house 3 times (the outside handle falls off & when I try to put in back on, the bar shoves back & since the doors closed, the handle can't be returned). Is there some kind of glue? Precaution? I can take to remedy this? I don't think just any door set will fit my patio doors - & besides, at $89 plus shipping, this wasn't exactly cheap. I can buy a new door package for $700. We live in Alaska - could the cold have something to do with this? Although, I must say, the old door only had one repeat handle falling off - not all working parts. PLUS: we've had a rather mild winter this past - only a month of maybe zero/a bit below, but mostly 30's all winter....
