  • I have a broken plastic thing. It is to catch the latch for our (very heavy) front door. For various extremely dull reasons I'm finding it very hard to get a direct replacement.
    Is there a service to get a replica made in metal?
    (it's about 5x4 cms and a few mm thick.)
    Or would a 3d printed one be strong enough?

  • How thick is it? Looks like it'd be pretty easy to make from aluminium with a hacksaw, files and a milling machine.

    A mill is more than is needed, you just need a drill to make the screw holes and at least one piercing as a starter hole for the oblong cutout.
