Doors – this door mechanism called

doorslock

I am planning to flip a door round so it opens with the hinges on the other side. Before I even start I want to know if the 'lock' mechanism exists in a mirrored format so the door can still open into the room.

I have an photograph of the mechanism that I would like to identify. If I can find out what the name is then I can at least start to search to see if that component exists in a mirrored format!

This is a rim lock or sometimes called a rim latch. Yours looks to be made of cast iron, and while you may not be able to find the exact duplicate, you may be able to come close.
