Hi all. I'm in the final stages of a complete restoration of a 1964 Yacht Fish 41. I pulled all 4 interior doors and cut, clean and refinished them. The door handles didn't work and I was intending to replace them but am having a VERY hard time finding a door handle that will work with a 1" thick door with a 1-1/4" backset. Most door handles I'm finding are for normal/thicker doors and the backset (distance from the edge of the door to the center of the handle) is at 2-3/8". Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. On the photo, you'll notice that I've cut away the center of the door and will be filling it with a frosted acrylic to allow more light in the staterooms. The photo is a few months old, prior to finishing the stain and varnish.
My refinished doors look amazing ..... now, if I could just keep them closed.
Please help.

Re: Door handles for 1964 Hatteras
Here are some photos of the original door handles. I didn't have many original photos of them before beginning my restoration. You can see that there is a backplate behind the handles which looks nice. I'm on the hunt for a chrome/polished finish.
