7 1/2" faceplate mortise lock

I'm trying to replace an old Yale mortise lock - the current mechanism in the door has a 7 1/2" faceplate. Can't seem to find this size replacement. Any recommendations?

I am at far end of a remodel project and just found that the door is 26 x 78 ... not getting it anywhere While I can probably order and get it, it will delay my project severely Did anyone ever try trimming a door by 2" ( 28" wide are available) and then gluing a strip of wood on the hollow side ? Is that something that can work ?

I’m replacing several hollow-core interior doors for bedrooms. The jamb is almost a perfect 80x30. So I bought an 80x30 6 panel hollow slab door and I noticed that my strike plate in the jamb is 41” from the ground. So I bored a hole for the doorknob but it was 3-4” higher than the lock block inside the door. Does the knob have to be in the lock block or can it be higher? Or should I lower the knob to 36” but the drill a new strikeplate hole and patch the old one? thank you
