Could you use a wood chisel to recess the latch more?

In some places I could, yeah.  It would be messy and leave an unfinished area afterwards, but it could be done.


In other places, the latch is screwed into a piece of metal (like an appliance or an appliance mounting bracket) and that isn't an option.

It's weird that these are so hard to get.  Almost like Newell is the only one using them.
