   I've looked in Van Dyke's Restorers, Antique Hardware and Home, and Woodcraft. I also tried some general searches on the internet but got more of the same.

   Thank you for the links, they have a lot of great things but none that meet my wants. Everything in a half mortise latch/lock seems to require a key. One exception, I did find in VanDykes a 1/2 mortise latch with no key but no handle or knob either. I suppose if I can find knobs and shafts that fit I could make this thing work. I don't think it should be this hard?  joe13

   A couple of things to keep in mind as you search for this elusive piece of hardware:

   It's real difficult to find the correct item on-line for this small stuff -- paper catalogs are much more helpful.

   "Latch" implies a lock.  Look also for "catch" or "pull."  "Catch" sounds more like what you want.

   Good luck!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)
