More Horizontal Mortice Bathroom Lock

Description

Originally, this type of horizontal mortice lock would have been key operated, however this modern variation on an old design allows for the use of a turn & release, whilst still maintaining the period feel and dimensions of an original lock. This is a bathroom lock, which is operable by a turn & release with a standard 5mm Spindle. The followers are aligned horizontally, rather than vertically, as seen on most modern locks. Very similar in shape and size to a rim lock, this kind of horizontal mortice locks were first used in the Georgian and Victorian times, typically in grand, or more expensive homes, where a traditional rim lock was viewed as too 'rustic. Please note: The polished stainless steel variation has to be constructed to order, and can take up to 3 Weeks. Supplied in SINGLES complete with fixings.
