Mortice latch search

[Corazones]

I am trying to find replacements for several of the mortice latches in my new home which have failed, and have run up against a brick wall as they seem to be longer than most. I have tried Screwfix etc, also some good hardware shops, with no luck.

The ones I need are 95mm overall length, 74mm from door edge to centre of handle bar. The barrel is 20mm x 15mm.

Can anyone suggest a supplier, preferably mail-order?

they are widely available. Have you tried Ironmongery Direct yet?

Many thanks, John, for the info and for that link, which looks close to what I need.

My main problem seems to be that all others I have looked at have too heavy a spring operation to be suitable for the shiny knobs in my home. I see, for example, that the Union 2648 data sheet is honest enough to say "requiring lever handle operation."

My wife is adamant that she won't change her knobs, otherwise that would have solved the problemjavascript:emoticon(''). Have you come across this before?
