How to replace this old lock?

Hi,Good morning!The lock of my bedroom is out work. This is the old lock ( imag1-3) . I removed it , filled the holes and gouge , but I can not find he same or alike moulding (image4). I think if I choose the same kind handle or lock ,everything will be fine . I am not vey satisfied with “rim night latch”, I prefer a lock with a handle . I think it maybe fit bedroom better. Then what can I do ?

Re: which lock I should buy?

It is a different style striker plate than what was there originally, @vica. You still might need to repair the door frame to install it if you can't place it in a different location. I'd suggest the best option would be to have the door and frame repaired and then install a standard handle and striker plate.

@MitchellMc  I mean this can reduce the difficulty to repair the door frame . I have filled the holes in the door with the timbermate wood filers which you recommend me before . I sanded them with Ozito random orbital sander . Now it is very smooth. It is amazing ! Appreciate !

That door looks fantastic, @vica, well done!

 

Due to the cutout section, I am not sure whether an Ikonic Brushed Nickel Square Striker Plate will be able to be installed there. I would imagine the area still needs to be repaired, or the striker plate needs to be mounted elsewhere.
