My door lock broke. HELP

I can't weld so I guess my only option is to trace it out and get out the angle grinder and dremel... I don't even have a drill press! Was hopping someone could weld it but I guess I can try making it first.

You don't own a hand drill and bench vise ? That's mild steel. Cheap drill bits would go through the metal you need.

Looks like there's 2 things you need to treat yourself to.

Looks pretty thin. I could give it a shot. Do the two pieces just but together?

This company probably stocks the entire latch. You should have no problem grinding one real quick

Men used to make fine rifles with nothing more than a few files and chisels...

Piece of backer plate, and a spot welder fix that real quick.

Does the manufacturer sell individual parts or whole mechanisms online?
