The locking mechanism features a single lever design for ease of use.

If replacing an old lock, BACKSET SIZE is critical, as keyhole in lock and furniture must line up together.

  • Backset- Distance To Pin: 3/4"
  • Overall Width: 2"
  • Overall Height: 1-1/4"
  • Selvedge: 1/2" x 2"

Additional Sizes:

Many vintage lock sizes are no longer made. As a result it may not be possible to exactly match an old lock.

Brass lock

I use these locks for a 9'x15' walnut doved tailed box. This is the 4th or 5th time I have used this style lock and they are perfect and unique.
