Who is the manufacturer of the door latch on the sliding glass door used on a FRONTIER 25 as illustrated above in Figure 1? There are markings of a lower case "a" and "r" with an inverted triangle. A call to Brunswick didn't yield much info since the notes on the Frontier are sparse.

Might be easier to identify if you remove it from the door and post a picture. A locksmith can probably identify the marks or recommend a replacement for you.

I would remove the assembly and consult a door hardware supplier. There are catalogs of the various options.

I took the latch apart and lo and behold the name was right there. Adams Rite MFG Co. HE87 was the model number. Thank you all for the input.
