Here is one of the suppliers we get the door switches from:

 Pico 5507PT Universal 10 Amp Door Alarm Switch 1 Per Package

There are others around and we aren't stock holders in this company.

While I don't know if the "button closet latch" in your '94 is the same... we have two push button latches for a hinged door under the sofa in our '03 (see image below).  This summer one of the latches failed, and I found a replacement on Amazon (it was the cheapest, including shipping, at the time); it is a Rockler product.  Here is the Amazon link:

I bought a replacement button door latch at Foretravel earlier this year but they're made of plastic now instead of metal like the original. The parts guy told me they can't get the metal ones anymore. I can't imagine the plastic one will last as long as the metal one so I swapped it with the bathroom closet door which I seldom use and put the metal one in the hall closet door that I use often... Maybe someday I'll find some used metal button door latches and buy them for spares.

Same thing at Amazon with dimensions, about 1/2 price of the one above.  <$6 shipping for three.

If one has worn out the others are likely not far behind.

Our 1993 U300 has a gold plated metal body with a gold plated plastic knob. I don't like gold so just took the gold off the knob leaving an ivory push button. They don't show any operational wear.

If you wan't to keep the same shower configuration, take exact measurements and try a glass shop, HD or research online. HD has a slick curved Euro style glass shower but it would require more work. The curved panel glass door slides inside the other curved glass panel. I just got through installing one in our home bathroom and love it.

These folks sell a selection of knobs and the surrounding rosettes http://www.bargainboatparts.com/images/Product/icon/98644.jpg
in brass or stainless (finishes-probably still plastic).
I got some replacement knobs at FOT. They are NOT identical in length to my originals but were usable - I dong remember all the particulars.

Whether they are the same as ours is not a given.
