I think it's time for you to explore the world of reclamation yards!

http://salvo.co.uk/ provides an easy way in, but you will soon need to start prowling round with a picture and a ruler, hunting out a match or a number of matching replacements.

This site ought to be ideal too, but from a quick look only has more upmarket stuff:

Nice doors btw.

Great minds think alike, Andy

Good point about the reclamation yards, however not as efficient as buying from the web

If you don't want to search salvage sites just on the off chance -seems a reasonable thought - then maybe do a search of Google UK for Brass Casting.

I found a large number of casters who offer custom casting from an original version of the object. Obviously cost could be an issue but if you have an original many of the initial cost issues are not applicable eg prototypes, design, digital models, CNC etc etc etc.

You may want to have a look.

You could also try Andy Thornton's in Elland, do loads of reclamation and door handles

in addition to salvo - there is also ebay and freecycle - you have to wade through lots of crap but there is the occasional gem

Do you have the locks too?

Those handles appear to be specific to the lock used, and it's virtually certain they won't be compatible with anything now in production. Just checking beofre you bust your hump finding handles...

You could try casting your own - brass is not to difficult to mould.

Alternatively these people might help
