Gate fastening   
I have just built a wooden gate to replace my existing one.
I am having trouble finding a replacement 'catch'. 
I am constrained by having brick gateposts which have already got a
triangular 'hook' to hold the latch.
What I am looking for is the equivalent of the fitting that most wrought
iron gates have - a simple see-saw with a curved handle.
I am having no success here in the NE. The nearest I can find is one with
rings you hold and turn, but it's not what I want.
Anyone got an internet or mail-order source?
