    Really good lock

    This lock was a good replacement for an old dresser that I was refurbishing that had original mortise but missing locks. These locks were slightly larger than the original, had a similar offset key location that was very similar to the original lock. So with minor adjustments to the original mortise, these locks fit nicely covering 95% of the old mortise. I’m very pleased with the quality and appearance of these locks.

    I am pleased with the lock and it works well, however I am very disappointed that there is a manufacturer’s name engraved on the facing edge. I used the lock as a replacement on an antique desk I restored….the engraving is not appropriate with the purpose of the lock.

    Solidly made

    I bought these locks to put into a cabinet made in the 1800's. I had to modify the existing mortises to make them work, but I knew that in advance. I also fabricated striker plates. I was pleasantly surprised these locks were not Chinese, but made in England.
