Old fashioned interior door assembly, where the latch, keyhole and handle are all in a straight line. Do these have a name and are they replaceable? I need to replace one (lost key) but I can't seem to find anything that has a keyhole between the latch and handle, just ones with the keyhole below or integral with the handle. I really don't want to be making more holes in the door :(
Interior door lock/latch, do they have names?

You're a star, many thanks! My second stupid question, where do I measure it from so I know if it's the 5" or 6" I need?
Make a new key for your old lock. You will need needle files and junior hacksaw. You will see how the lock works if you take it apart. Timpsons etc has blank keys.

It's not the same supplier or manufacturer, but I suspect they are reasonably standardised.
