Proper TR3 doors would not have the bracket I described. You might be able
to mount TR3 style latches in them, but I believe it would take some hacking
to do so. ISTR the rear jamb is different too, but I could be mistaken.
I've got samples of each handy at home, I'll try to take some pictures when
I get there in a few hours.
