Brass door catch

[NickWelford]

Doing some restoration in an old house and I would like to match or replace with like for this catch. Any idea where I can get some?

Closest I know of is this http://www.snobsknobs.co.uk/shop/antiqu ... try-catch/

But it costs a fortune

Thanks guys. Hopefully some more will come up, £42 is a bit rich for me! If only I had a metal lathe!

Hi,

Googling for 'Brass cupboard latch' or catch comes up with some:

- Lee Valley do quite a nice-looking one - http://www.leevalley.com/US/garden/page ... 41408&ap=1 for about $8

- These people do a couple of different ones at sensible prices: http://www.restoration-materials.co.uk/ ... k=1920:84::

- And these people do a more high faluting one: https://www.willowandstone.co.uk/cabine ... -catch.php

I guess as an alternative you could try architectural salvage to try and find some genuine antique ones.

Cheers, W2S
