I have almost finished my storage shed project, but I am having difficulty finding one last part. I am looking for a specfic type of door handle I have seen used on sheds built in my area. It basically looks like the square shaft garage door handle manufactured by Stanley, but it has a flat piece of metal attached to the end. One shed door is held closed with 2 barrel bolts and when you turn this handle (mounted on the second door), the flat piece of metal slides behind the first door framing, holding it tightly shut. I don’t think this is a custom piece as I have seen it more than once. Does anyone know what this is called (besides shed door handle)and where I could get one? I have looked at the hardware stores in my area without success. It is tough to find on the internet when I’m not really sure what it is called. Thanks.
