Please elaborate how this issue manifests due to drain backup in basement?I had a similar issue few months ago saw some water in basement but have no clue from where it came interestingly recent heavy rains had no impact

Hello Members

My patio door lock seems broken perhaps beyond repair
I have two choices replace lock or replace patio door(which is fringe based or non-sliding).I am inclined more towards replacing patio door as it's about 15 year old.However there seems to be better or inexpensive choices in sliding doors as opposed to fringe based.however I am not sure if it will be feasible to replace fringe based to sliding and how much it would cost for such a replacement besides I spoke to few locksmiths and it did not help.appreciate input from experts here

Thanks
