I plan on making all of my doors. I will use metal hinges but want to make the complete handle assembly out of wood for the interior doors. Does anyone have an idea of where to find info on plans, schetches orblueprints for solid wood door handles and the inside works, (latches)? Websites? Books?

Here's a book that I've been curious about. "Making Working Wooden Locks"
http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=46120&cat=1,46096 It might not show a working door lock, but I bet a lot of the basic principles are the same.

It looks like fun, but I'm not allowed to have fun. I must work! *&^YG&%[/url]
