Slam latch on exterior storage doors and outside kitchen

Is it possible to remove the little 571 lock on exterior storage doors and replace them with the black slam latch locks? Tks

    The only other thing is the "catch" for the slam latch on my latches is a good 1" or more deep. Do you have an area that you can mount that?


    So I need 1" where the catch mounts or where the large latch mounts on the door? Funny thing is one exterior storage door has the slam latch but the kitchen door does not nor does a smaller exterior storage door on opposite side. I'll see if the one door is thicker?
