Does anyone know a good UK source for these:-

They seem to be made by Southco and called Mobello or McCoy.
Made for various different orientations and options - hence the need to contact someone who knows the product.

Mike,

just note that most locks have a pull and rotate or some other way to switching the latch over, so no need for a particular orientation when ordering.

Have a look at this link, they have part numbers which might help:

Here's the link to the UK contact for Southco, they might advise of a UK distributer.

Also worth contacting your local branch of George Boyd, they are pretty good at tracking down parts:

Good luck

I missed that UK Southco contact when I was browsing.
I'm in Spain at the moment but I will give the UK office a call when I get back.
 
If the door handle has gone floppy and the door lock won't stay in the shut position, then the coil spring inside has snapped. I have the same locks and couldn't find where they came from. Its not too hard to take them apart as they are held together by riveted "T" joints which you can lever apart next to each joint. The spring has probably snapped at the end loop, so I just bent over the next loop in the coil and popped it back together again.

Great idea and I've had a go.
I spent some time working out how it all worked.
But any small change in shape can cause the mechanism to stick.
I don't want to risk it failing with the door shut.
So I am still looking for a new one.
