A friend of mine is building a replica door from late 1800's in Texas. He has the original door knob and locking box that was attached to the outside of the door and used a skeleton key to lock. The strike box, as he described it, is missing. He said it should be about 3-4" tall and a couple of inches deep x maybe 3/4"-1" thick. Does anyone have a resource for old (new) door hardware like this? Not sure if this was the correct forum, so mods please move if appropriate.
TIA
