Generally speaking, you can't easily change to another type of latch on a sliding glass door. Sometimes it can be done given enough time and effort but it's never worth it. Buy a direct replacement part which will pop right on in minutes or replace the whole thing with better doors.

The issue is the Kwikset style key. That's what makes this lock so special.
 
Any Lowe's Menards, Home Depot will have a direct replacement.
May want to take the old one with you, they come in two different screw spacings.

The patio door locks at Home Depot/Lowe's do not have Kwikset style keys. They are smaller cylinders so I can't match them with keys for the front door.
 
Then buy and install a door which uses a lock that is compatible with a kwickset key pattern.
Done!

As a last ditch, you might try a local mobile home repair facility. They seem to have lots of odds and ends that aren't normally available at other places.
