I'm building a free standing wardrobe (see avatar pic) and I need a surface mount lock to attach to the outside of the doors. It has to be surface mount, since the doors are only 3/4" thick and I can't cut into them and install a lock inside the wood itself.
The type of lock I'm looking for appears to be called a "rim lock"

Where there's a lock half and a "snib" piece that the bolt slides into. Many of these are built to be used with a knob, but I won't need a knob. If the knob is optional and there's just the hole for it, I can fill it in and ignore it.
But the main thing is every single one of them I can find is rectangular, and I want a round one. Like, 2 halves of a circle. One half for the lock mechanics, and one half for the snib.
Does this even exist??
