Default changing rear hatch 97 sport

I recently got into an accident and my rear hatch is messed up on the right side. I found a replacement at a junk yard but I'm having some difficulty installing it. I really just want to know if I can change the lock out of the old door and put it into the new one. Also I need to know how to put the old piece of glass into the new door. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yes you should be able to remove the lock cylinder and swap it.
