Sourcing traditional door catch - in my case for the head.

[Amulet]

I'm looking for a couple of latches of the type shown in the picture. These are chromed brass, and many decades old. (They don't look quite as manky in the flesh as in the picture.) I would be equally happy with plain brass. Anyone seen anything like this?

If you have to replace them with another type, J.Shiner and Sons, sells some that might be acceptable.

Whoop! What a source. Doesn't solve this problem, but saved for future reference. My application is for double doors. The hook action holding them in tension is the key ingredient.

Thanks, well done. They don't seem to have them at present, but may get more. However, knowing what the damned thing is called helps me to search.
