I believe an automotive locksmith should be able to make a key for you.

I have a patio door. I believe it is an offset thumb turn lock that is keyed on the outside. After the lock is turned to unlock there is a lever to raise that actually releases the locking mechanism from the hooks in the door jam. What is this called

I believe what you’re describing is called a multi-point lock system. They’re made by various companies, the most popular is Hoppe. Since the systems are made to fit the door, & there are so many different variations, they have to be surveyed by a tech, and special ordered.

Asked by Peaches over 3 years ago

Depends on your area and who you hire. Could be $75 to $250 depending on what needs to be done. It’s impossible for me to say what needs to be done to gain entry without seeing your setup and being there. Every job is different, & this is a special situation.
