Not an exact replacement for the night latch 'yale' type lock, but do you
mean rim latch?

They certainly used (c. a century ago) to use latches without the
separate lock, so that would be neater, and I am sure still available.
But why not just used a mortised door latch as used on internal doors
nowadays?
