I have a problem with the auto lock, it’s a knight bridge umbrella, when i retract it, it doesn’t lock in place, can it be fixed or replace the handle in case it’s totally eroded?

I have 2 umbrellas which have both snapped at the hole. Is there a way this technique or a version of it can be used to repair them?
