I need to know the inside.
Some very old units would be all aluminum... those are no longer manufactured as they do not meet energy codes and have not for some time. But many are in service and work fine.
Other are Metal outside and wood inside (sometimes factory painted so they can look very much like vinyl).
These would most likely come from the major brands - Pella, JeldWen, Andersen, or Marvin (Though if old enough could have come from units that went bankrupt or were bought out by them). The glass codes tell me when the units were manufactured, and if you open the door and look up... more modern units will generally have the Product ID tag in the track that the door slides in. Sometimes they would place it to the side, but the change was made to avoid the fading of weather/UV.
Some units will have very inexpensive cylinder replacements, with decent instructions.
