Andersen¨ Tribeca Style - Gliding Door Thumb Latch in White Color

Worked great and easy to install looks like the last lock so it’s fine. Seems like good quality. Good value for money. Fits fine looks okay

This is relatively easy to install. If your thumb latch breaks or is about to go, I recommend getting a new one. Important Tip: If you have replaced it more than once, it may not be the latch itself. The door frame has a pin (about as wide as a medium nail) sticking out about 2 cm or 3/4 inch. It is across from the bottom of the latch and the two meet when the door is closed. This pin pushes in some kind of spring mounted metal button on the bottom of this latch. Metal on metal, this button eventually gets worn down (like dented). My replacement latch was still sticking a bit, which meant it would eventually fail like the previous one. After playing with it, I realized the pin was the issue as well. As a quick fix, I found a small electrical connector cap or cap from a small dispenser (like a glue bottle tip cap) that wasn't too long or wide, so it fit snuggly on the pin and still was not too big for the button area. I fitted the plastic cap with epoxy onto the pin on the door frame. It extended the pin several more millimeters so that the pin fully depressed the button on the latch. This now gave the latch full and free movement without any sticking as it turned. So far, it is working perfectly and I do not expect to have to replace the latch mechanism again. You may find something else that works to extend the pin, but this is what I had on hand for free. Wish I figured it out the first time.

Total install time to remove broken latch and replace it with this one was easily under 10 minutes. 5 minutes or so to actually undo the screws and screw in the new latch and close to another 5 minutes to adjust it so the new latch would work smoothly. Perfect fit in my door, although my OEM latch had a slightly squarer styling as opposed to the Tribeca style of this one which is a bit more oval in shape. Nonetheless, it installed perfectly and works as expected. It was inexpensive and some other reviews says it does not hold up but I'll keep an open mind. So far it's been over 2 months and zero issues. I'll try to remember to come back in 6 months and a year to update this review and comment about durability.

Exact fit OEM replacement for my sliding door thumb latch lock that had gotten internally "loose" after ten years of multiple daily use. It literally took two minutes to uninstall the old one and replace it with this new one. Hopefully this one lasts another ten years :) UPDATE: I have had to buy additional of the exact fit OEM replacements about every 15-24 months. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install so no big deal but the metal "internals" seem to be a bit "softer" and the mechanism ends up becoming loose with frequent daily use 365/24/7 since it is the way we let our dog out multiple times a day. Based on this fact, my guess is that this metal fatigue problem starts occurring between 2500-3000 uses of the thumb latch which is used to ensure my sliding door fits snuggly into/against the door frame to make a tight gasket seal. The metal fatigue problem is gradual and gives indication when I have to begin making small adjustments to the door latch mechanism so use of this thumb latch keeps a tight fit against the gasket. Thus, I now keep a spare new replacement in the kitchen drawer next to this sliding door so I can make a quick fix whenever warranted. Reduced my Product Rating from 5 Stars to 4 Stars to reflect the above. With that said, this is still the best product to use if you have such a sliding Andersen Door. Just keep a spare thumb latch on hand and all will be good.

Fit perfectly. Very happy I didn't have to purchase a full latch assembly.

Very straight forward to install. Product was exactly what was described. Hopefully we will get another 15 years worth from this lever too.

This latch is direct factory replacement for this door. The old o e needed replacement since it broke. This one is adjustable for clearance issues. Easy installation. Works as it should.

Fit perfect replaced no problems

Our 53 year old door latch finally broke and this part, while a bit different in appearance (the latch handle is larger and it is white, not aluminium), fit perfectly. It replaced another Andersen door latch and I used the screw/bolt hole distance to determine fit and it was perfect.
