Chris, Maybe the indefinite "you" can't fix a sliding door handle, but I did. I had to dispense with the tumbler so the door could only be locked from the inside. I wasted away the broken portion of the handle which protruded into the door and machined an insert from stainless steel to replace the pot metal. Unlocking it was inconvenient at times, but my kids could hang on it with impunity. Rich
