Where can I find indoor shutter knobs that turn like a handle?

Where can I find indoor shutter knobs that turn like a door handle? I have searched antique and salvage yards unsuccessfully.

Maggie Stevenson replies: The knobs you are looking for are used with a mortise-type shutter latch and the complete fitting with knob and mortise plate is available from Priors Reclamation (01746 712450; priorsrec.co.uk) in lacquered, unlacquered or nickel plated brass, from £74.40. Bought separately, the knob costs £25.20. Shutter knobs are not universal, so check the measurements given on the company website carefully before you order to ensure the knob will fit your latch. Shutter latches are not widely available so if the knob does not fit your latch an easier, if more costly, solution would be to replace the whole fitting.
