I have a sliding door. The part that the the lock interacts with, on the wall, has broken. It looks like a double hook (pictures attached).
I went to home depot and no one knew what it was or where to find it. Does anyone have a clue?
This sliding door latch called, and where can I find it

You need to remove the key set section as pictured on the left. It may be very corroded and require a bit of persuasion to split the halves and remove from the deadbolt assembly. Once you have removed the keyway from both sides, there should be nothing but a couple of screws on the striker/jam plate holding the bolt assembly.
You can cut a stick to lay in the track where the door slides, that's an old trick. You can also drill a vertical hole in the track, say an inch deep, and drop a 2" nail in there, to block the door from sliding open, similar idea.
They make little clamp on sliding window locks
that might work.
