Hi peeps

I'm trying to replace some French door locks but as with most things finding the right name to search for is most of the battle.

In the door are some levers that can be up or down and move a peg up and down into the door frame. They've given up the ghost but searching without the right word is proving fruitless.

I should have said they are top and bottom in the door and extend a bolt into the frame, they're not part of a multi point locking system.

Always a pain trying to look for something without knowing what it is actually called... I had something similar when looking for an escutcheon in ignorance of the existance of the word escutcheon.
 
If I don't know the exact name of something I'm looking for I search but select images.
This way if I spot what I'm after I follow the link to the site it's on and normally the correct term is on there.

I guess some sites put a variety of names on to help us out:)
This way has helped me find things a lot of times.
