Hi! I have an old door handle and latch lock that needs to be replaced.
Below are pictures. It has two 3-inch centered holes and there is a hinge mechanism on top of the handle that slides over a latch which is attached to the outer edge of the steel door frame. The house was built in 1950.
The new handle and lock can be a new design….
The tricky part is that the latch, which is located on the outside of steel frame, has a short width of about one inch.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kindest regards
Door handle and lock latch

Thank you for reaching out to us. Based on your existing handle set, it appears to use the 90-071 window lock. We have a few options for you to consider, though none are an exact match.
Take a look at the 82-013 handle set, which features 3" hole centers. You might be able to pair this handle set with the 89-041 keeper.
Another option is the surface-mounted 82-005 handle set, which comes with its own keeper. Please note that with the 82-005, you'll need to drill new mounting holes for installation.
I recommend reviewing both handle sets and the related videos for more information.
