Need some help. I don’t want to spend the time replacing/remortising and refinishing the door.
I need to find a supplier of antique/salvage Corbin mortise latchsets for an exterior door.
Door was installed 1930. So far all I have been able to find is interior pieces. This one has the deadbolt in the latchset along twith the 2 pushbuttons
Exterior trime is 1″X7 5/8″
Anyone know of such a place or does someone have one?
Thanks in advance. Brian
Mortise part is approx 7/8″W X 5 1/4 -5 1/2″H X3 1/2″ deep

Here's one on Ebay that might work for you. Take a look at this

That one came close, but mine has a thumb latch on the exterior side so there is a spring buttom on the bottom inside of the mortice box.
Thanks again.
This is a place that I use for door hardware for my old house.

They have a bookcase or two full of mortice locks ( they had 30 or 40 of the particular one I needed to replace). The easy thing to do is to give them a call or send an email with a picture or two of what you are replacing ( with a ruler or grid paper for scale). If they have what you are looking for,they will send a reply email with a picture or pictures of their proposed items. And they don't seem to mind spending time tracking down things that will only cost a few bucks.
Thanks, I will be sending them a diagram as to what I need
Brian - Call Olde Good Things http://www.oldegoodthings.com/about_us.htm, either on the left coast or, more specifically, the basement of the Chelsea store in NYC. They should be willling to check measurements on mortise locks in stock (although good Corbins are increasingly hard to find) - I bought 9 mortise locks in NYC last weekend from them -
Good luck -
Jeff
Thanks for the reference
