Fixing broken door handle

It seems like the dimensions are 73mm wide x94/95mm high.
I can't seem to find any sort of lock approaching those dimensions.
I imagine that the dimensions quoted are for the box only (not the front plate).
I would take the old one into Screwfix, as I've always found them helpful in matching replacements.
This shows the range available...

Ideally, you'd match the overall dimensions, including the overhang of the front plate, the alignment of the protruding latching pieces, the position of the hole for the handles and the lock access.0 -
Screwfix said 'we don't have anything like that, it's so thin'. (around 1cm/3/8".) a modern lock is double the thickness.0

Looks like you'll be buying a wider one and a set of chisels.You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose.0
