Tubed door latches
So, I just purchased these doors for cheap. Front passenger door is missing the latch. Has anyone replaced these or know where to purchase them? I’ve been looking online, but can’t find them.

Those latches look a little different than the ones I have.
Looks like it has a lock?
IIRC I bought a set of 4 doors for my JKU from eBay for under $200 shipped.
I'm pretty happy with them overall, but they did require a little adjustment in order to get rid of the rattles.
When installing I found a YouTube video talking about using carboard to shim the door in the middle of the latches when bolting together.
Mine work really smoothly, but I did end up replacing the hardware for the latch itself in order to keep the adjustment solid.
As for the latch, I did a quick internet search, but I didn't find anything.
I read on here where someone used a latch from a gate (homedepot) for a set he made.
If that doesn't work,
One common brand for those is "EAG", but they are sold by a billion other names.
I didn't find a contact for EAG, but that might at least give you something to work with, find an email or support address for them to see if a replacement latch can be bought.
