Default Changing a rim lock into a ???

I have some 100+ rim locks that lost their catch piece. I cleaned them
and they seem to work fine. Now the problem is how to make them bolt.
The doors also have been put back into place in such a way that the
catch wouldn't work anyway. The bolt lands on the jam of the doorway,
so maybe i need to get the parts that belong to a regular mortise lock
now?
