Andersen patio door lock with alignment pin

Andersen 2565507 mortised lock (discontinued...of course) with Thumb latch on patio door. Latch is so loose, it falls locked on it's own. No visible way to tighten either part. When taken apart, lock turns with no resistance and latch falls without resistance. Which part is the problem? Mortised lock isn't sold separately, so do I need new combo? Thank you.

Hi Emily;

Andersen appears to have replaced this lock with part number 2562123. The only difference is you might have to lengthen the mortise in the stationary lock jamb of the door.

They have a video that explains this here:
