I need to repair a double glazed back door, it's missing a 'keep' from the top 'bracket'. Can't find one that looks suitable, no markings showing on the door to help. Any ideas where to get this from, or other options?

Call round at your local Double Glazing fitter and ask if you can raid their scrap bin. I'm sure they will have a whole host of old parts just waiting to go to recycling and they might just let you have it for free or be prepared and take a pack of chokky hob nobs round with you!

I did go into a couple of DG shops, drew a blank, although it was the 'sales girl' I spoke to on both occasions. I've been keeping my eye out for an installer working near by.

Already tried. I've done lots of searching already, so far can't find similar. Hoping someone in the trade may id it.

A quick Google image search for 'door lock roller keep' throws up a few possibilities.

There is something at winkhausdirect.co.uk that looks identical so I would guess that the lock is a Winkhaus one.
