Anyone have a replacement part number for the gold push button closet door locks. Your help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks, John and Carmen
Crappie World has them in silver or bronze but no gold that I've seen.
The gold plating wore off one of our knobs. Amy wanted a new one. Went to Foretravel parts....they told me to judt buy a new knob...screw off/on....easy
These items from Amazon appear to be a reasonable replacement.

David, Thanks, I seen that one on Amazon but was concerned if it would cover the thickness of our door. Will look in to it more.
Thanks, John and Carmen
I just ordered one from Rockler.com on Thursday. Should get it first of the week. Pricey @ $27. I will let you know if it is the correct size.

Here is 5 for $25.

None of these are set for the thickness of the FT doors. SomFT added a short threaded extension to the rod to make it long enough. Remove it from the old latch and ise it on the new one.
Some of these are centered. The hole on the door is too far away for them to work. You need the ones where the knob is off set.
I've gotten the whole thing from Foretravel. As I recall, the shipping was more than the latch. The biggest issue I've had with them is that the originals were metal (cheap metal, but still metal) while the new replacements are all plastic.
Knob and trim are interchangeable so you can cheap out and not get gold.
I received the knob from Rockler.com today. It was a bust. The shank didn't reach far enough out. Will return. Ordered the correct ones from FT. Should be here in a couple of days. Live and learn.

I should have searched the forum before I purchased. I grabbed a plier and can now use the latches available on Amazon etc. See photo. Thanks Roger.
Some FT didn't use those spacers - the latch itself had a longer shaft. I could not find replacements with spacer or longer shaft to fit the thicker FT doors. After extensive searching I found the size of the spacer needed and some ebay sources for the spacers. I used these spacers with the new latches as Roger and Susan showed. They are hex shaped and come from China :-X :-X , but they are perfect for my new latches.
