Does anyone know of another source on these Bargman locks? $249 for a rebuilt lock and $149 for the rebuild kit seems a little steep...but that may be a case of supply and demand.

My lock is hanging down again (last year I replaced the springs) so I was thinking about getting another one...

The market is full of opportunists charging a mint because they think they can get it. When mine fails, I am putting metal plates over the hole and installing another type lock. Probably a Chinese cheapie. All it has to do is keep the dog and cat in.

I already depend on a double cylinder deadbolt for security.

L-300 Bargman Flush Mount Lock

Flush-mount lock requiring a 4-5/8" x 4-7/8" opening in a 1-3/8" to 2" thick door. Plate measures 5-1/4" x 5-3/8" outside and 5-1/4" x 5-7/16" inside. Inside handle projects 1-21/32"(long lock pull) or 1-1/4" (short lock pull). Recessed outside handle. The locking mechanism is actuated with outside key or inside safety catch.

You can find them on Ebay - this link will take you to 9 of them

Thanks for the reply's about the door handle. I also was/am going to just replace with something else that does not cost so much. But if I come across one somebody has laying around and has no need for it. And also willing to get rid of it for a reasonable amount then I will jump on it. But it is still just a door knob so I am not going to spend a lot of money on it.

Well, well...I originally was willing to just give my old Bargman away to a fellow Barther but lo and behold ..it's worth actual money!! hmmm. what to do..
So here's the deal JoshS. You can have my old door fixture for the cost of shipping but I'm afraid I have to get $500 for the door striker plate.Let me know ...Read

That is what I was really hoping what you were thinking. I figured if I had a part/piece that I do not need anymore then I would give it to somebody who can use it and save a few bucks since it is only collecting dust with me. I figured this would be the best place to do that. Barths helping barths...Right
