please tell me how to change this door knob
I just bought a house and the patio door is weird. Everything else is brushed nickel and uses a different key. I'd like to buy a different door knob for this door but I don't know how. As you can see in the pic there isn't a plate on the side of the door to remove like most door knobs. This runs all the way to the top and bottom of the door. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The last pic is of the codes on the window. I googled each one individually and it all seemed to be about the glass, nothing about the door.

First, have you gotten your new lock/hardware? That will be the most difficult part but if you can identify what you have you could try and buy new face plates and knobs. That way you don't have to remove the mechanism from inside the door.

The edge plate running top to bottom suggests a multi-point atrium style lock, where a rod runs the length of the door, to activate bolts at top and bottom.The locks are generally made to fit specific atrium door brands, and are best obtained from that door manufacturer. If you can't find a door brand sticker or label, you might send the pics to a few of the atrium door companies.....I think there's only about 3 major atrium door companies, altho they may be marketed under different names.
Is this something that can be adjusted or is the lock broken and needs replacement?
