   You might try http://www.eddonaldson.com/ and http://robinsonsantiques.com. I found those at google.com using "Corbin Mortise lock antique" (not the E) for the search. there are others. You could also try with things like "antinque hardware lock".

   To all:
   We live in a circa 1890s Victorian in Colorado Springs and are remodeling the front door to open the opposite way. The original front door lock, a right-handed Corbin Mortis, Patented June 19, 1883 apparently cannot be flipped to accommodate opening the door the opposite way due to its construction. Distance from the latch mechanism to center of lock cylinder is 3". It is a fine piece of art/workmanship and an integral part of the house. Would anyone happen to know of where we might find a left handed mate for the locking mechanism itself? (obviously we wish to use the exterior pieces) The lock is in excellent working order and we have high quality, digital pictures showing both the outsides and insides or can print out high quality color photos to snail mail if needed. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated... you may see web-resolution versions of what we have at http://www.greaterswiss.com/corbin.htm, if different shots are required, we can provide.
