Might these help from our Legacy Tech Tips? Door Latches for 1947-1951 and 'Door Latches and Strikers'.

There is also a separate area in Shops just for Doors. Might post there if the question doesn't get much response here. headscratch

They are Autoloc replacement latches from an undetermined time ago, but they appear to be make the same latches today, so maybe I'll just clean an lube them and re-install.

Ric, there are a lot of discussions on door latches over in the Doors area, with good input. I'm gonna move your post over there and let's see what happens. thinking
