I'm looking for some latches like these. They are 2 3/4''x 1 1/4"...If you have any or know where I can get some please let me know....100+ yr old house & they would rather keep it looking the same in the kitchen.

A photo or two would be most helpful.

You might want to send the pictures to architectural salvage yards. The catches would be small enough to be able to ship them at a reasonable price.

My first two thoughts are Vandykes and Restoration Hardware. And maybe House of Antique Hardware.com too.

Thanks Kent...The Vintage Hardware is the closest so far but to long...The stile of the door just fits the latch part that's 1 3/4" long.....those are 2 3/8" so they will be past the edge into the glass...I bought the ones From Horton Brasses but won't work..The fellow who refinished the cabinets didn't sand out the light spots under the latches. So I need the exact ones or something that will cover the light areas under the old latches...Nothings easy....

Whitechapel? The ones I saw were anything but cheap, though...

Hey - out of the envelope - how about a thin shim - 1/8" that covers the old footprint, and mount new latches on top of that?

I make a wine cabinet and use a victorian style latches. I usually get the real antique via Ebay but they are getting harder to find. The pictures you posted are hard to see especially the hasp. Can you provide a diff pic. I get my reprodcutions from house of antique hardware.
