I'll see if there's any chance't I can braze the latch back together,

Well, I was successful in brazing it and just reinstalled it this
afternoon--all is well!!

I'll keep a search on on eBay for some for replacements or parts,
though, just in case. There must be 50 of these in the old building;
maybe more than that when I think of all the closets, SS-school rooms,
other cubby-hole-hideaways all over a 100-yo 3-story+basement building,
though...
