I don't know what you are starting with but I have a couple of sets laying around in the shop that seem to just be worn at the latching piece on the door side and similar spot on the jamb side. I have been told you can just take a welder and build it up and grind it back into shape. The repo's don't cost that much compared to what it might cost to have someone do it but I don't really know. I decided to go with bear claw.
