Additional Jewelry Box Locks |
Finding an exact match for an old lock is not always possible, as only a limited amount of sizes are now made. |
Jewelry Box Locks are a great size for small boxes, silver chests and game cases. This lock is well made with a dependable lever mechanism. The quality is evident. Key has decorative shape.
These are half mortise type locks for lift lid furniture. This quality lock has a brass face plate, box and strike. Once installed, lock is fitted into a partial cut out in box interior. Strike attaches underneath surface of lid. When lid is closed, strike drops down into lock. Key turns two lever mechanism to secure lid providing a higher level of security than cheaper versions. Once in place, lock is hidden from exterior view. Made in England.
Great locks for the jewelry boxes I am making. I did sacrifice one lock-plate from the eight I recently purchased to make its installation easier. I soldered three short screws into the holes of the latch plate then put the latch plate on the lock that was mounted on the jewelry box. I closed the lid and gave it a light tap, thus marking the location of the holes that would be drilled to attach the lock plate. I bet the manufacturer could make and furnish this modification which sure makes the accurate installation of the latch plate easier.
Very satisfied with the small lock and key - so hard to find and such good quality.
First time buying this sort of thing, so I had a bit of learning to do. The responses with help were timely and valuable! I'd buy from Paxton again!
Years ago, I built several of of the jewelry cases featured in Woodsmith No. 46 (August 1986). It was a most satisfying project, so recently I decided I needed to build another. However, the original supplier referenced in the plans, no longer carried the locking hardware. But then searching the web, I found Paxton Hardware had a very similar product which filled the bill. Perfect size, great quality and competitive price, so the project is nearing completion. Thanks for a great product!
