If you are replacing push button latches you need to find ones with the offset latch part. They are not symmetric.
This is one example of a replacement latch.

There are lots out there of widely varying quality. My own experience has the tabs one the cheap ones fail whenre the screws go through.
These are all designed to fit doors up to 1.8 cm or 0.71" thick doors. FT doors are more than 1" thick. The OEM latches have an extension on the button stud that can be removed and used on a new latch. The holes on the new latch may not line up well with those from the OEM latch. The button needs to be as close to the center of the hole in the door as possible or binding will occur.
