Andersen Reachout Lock & Receiver Kit (2-Panel) (1986 to Present) | Works with Perma-Shield, Narroline & Frenchwood Gliding Doors

Overview

The Andersen Reachout Lock and Receiver Kit is designed to restore smooth, confident closure for two-panel gliding patio doors. This kit works with Perma-Shield Gliding, Narroline Gliding, and Frenchwood Gliding doors manufactured from 1994 to present. It also serves as a practical replacement for older reachout hardware used on models from 1986 to 2005, helping you maintain a reliable latch experience without a full door replacement.

What’s included and how it works

The kit includes the reachout lock mechanism, commonly called the deadlock, that installs in the door panel, along with the receiver, or strike, installed in the door jamb. When the lock engages, the mechanism reaches out, hooks the receiver, and pulls the door closed, delivering a tactile confirmation of a secure latch with each use.

• Replaces vintage reachout locks and receivers: part numbers 2573558, 2573562, 2565507, and 2565509.

• Gliding patio door lock and receiver designed for two-panel configurations, regardless of other hardware finishes.

Installation, setup, and everyday use

Installing is straightforward for a two-panel setup: remove the old hardware, align the new lock with the receiver, and secure in place. The design emphasizes repeatable action and a solid feel when the door reaches the jamb.

• Compatible with doors manufactured from 1994 to present, and can replace older vintages from 1986 to 2005.
