Share experience re: Door Latch parts ??

Hi. Was wondering if members would share their POSITIVE experience on replacing door latch hardware.

Where could I buy replacement latches and interior handle mechanisms and get reasonably good new parts?

I would really like the latch system to work properly, and not get cheap parts that don't fit well.

Thanks for your reply!

I have looked at these a couple times.

Did you use them? How much work was the installation?

55-63 are pretty bad, 64-66 are much better at closing. went on there site but couldn't get the install up. a bit pricy but should be way better than stock.
