Hearthstone I (Circa 1980's) - Broken Latches

[CTcountrylife]

We bought an old home (1754) and inherited a Hearthstone I wood stove with the purchases. Overall, it is in good shape and has served us well. However...

I can no longer get a good seal on the front doors because both latches are broken. The top is completely broken and the bottom is partially broken. Hearthstone supposedly no longer makes the latch replacement part for our wood stove. Where might I find a place to purchase a similar latch (made for another model wood stove) that would suffice on our old stove?

Thank you for your help.
