Thanks! I bought a replacement at DK Hardware because Amazon didn't have anything similar to my JW model. I used the original tail piece like the video suggests and everything worked fine

No… thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated! 😎

The latch you used is no longer available on Amazon but there was another one that was exactly the right size. The nomenclature is wrong on Amazon which I reported to Amazon and to the Seller. The lever I received was 2 1/8” long which was exactly what I needed. Your video was so helpful. Thanks again!!

Good to know... thanks! 😎

@Lynda0218 what was the one you bought? Can you share the link?

[@jaykom2150]

Hey can you list the one you found

[@WeekendFunnies]

I couldn't find it on Amazon either, but found it from a company in Canada called Reflect Window and Door. The part was called Olympus Patio Door 2-1/8" Latch Lever With 1/2" Spindle. They shipped it pretty fast too!

@@WeekendFunnies Did you use an old (original) tail piece or the one that came with a new latch? Were they the same length?

[@brownizora]

What should I do if I lost the original tail piece

[@brownizora]

How long is the old tail piece

[@HacksbyDad]

Sorry… I don’t remember measuring the tailpiece. You can test fit the new one to see if it will work without cutting it. 😎
