Is there a company that either can replace or repair old door mechanisms? I have a few doors where either the twist-latch is stuck, the tongue that holds the door closed won't work, or both. Thanks

Try Crown City Hardware (Pasadena CA). They have a large selection of reproduction hardware and the quality is also there. They are not cheap though. You can order on line.

Thanks This was exactly what I was looking for.

Hello,


you might take the lock apart, it may just have a dust bunny in thee keeping it from closing. A little grease will go a long way.

There should be 2 screws holding the lock in place.. And then there are several smaller screws holding the unit together.

WD 40 works good.. Also Parifin wax works well, won;t hold the dust like grease will. I use parifin on my tools because saw dust won;t stick to it..
