Anybody know of any other than continuing to search eBay and the like?

Have 5-1/4" long faceplate unit with 2-1/4" setback at church on which
somebody managed to break the latch casting; I've no klew how they
managed that altho the door shows that it was sorely abused sometime in
the past as there are broken ventilation slats in the bottom section.

Anyway, so far nothing matching has shown up on the usual sites altho
I'm continuing to watch; the only new product I've found comes from
Prime Line that is 2-3/8" setback and some reviews indicate it isn't
even worth the ~$10 price they're so cheaply made.

I may order one just to see if can make it work, but it'd be nice to
find closer fit if at all possible.

I'll see if there's any chance't I can braze the latch back together,
but don't hold out a lot of hope...

take the broken one to a local machinist who may be able to duplicate it.....

Even better any machinists in your congregation

Sadly, old mortise lock parts are miserable
to find. I know that's not a ray of sunshine
on the matter.
