Patio door built in locks

[Rickthepick]

Just wondered if anyone knows if and where you can get replacements for the built in frame patio door locks.

These are the ones the close shut on prodruding pins set in the frame that have a head like a screw then the fork like strip closes down on them.

Iv come across a few broken ones now and never know where to obtain the parts so i end up fitting the bullet patio door locks that screw into the frame and push into a hole in the door

They're tough to find, we invariably fit surface mounted locking bolts to the top and bottom of the door, usually chubb 8k116s.

Iv found somewhere that sells them but was told that you still have to remove the door to fit them, so still a pain
