Description: These locks are functional with an easy-to-use press down tab on faceplate tabto release stored pull handle and come with the necessary hardware to attach them to your doors. Additionally, you will receive one key to operate the lock hook. These locks are from the 1870's - Mallory and Wheeler design, but only casting marks are "331" Vintage catalog pag shows closest match that I can find showing the unique horizontal tab that when pressed down, activates the internal lock mechanism to "pop-out" the concealed pull. Sargent/Corbin made similar designs but the faceplate tab was turned 90 degrees. Faceplate 7.75" x 1.125" x .56" thickCase size 5.5 x 3.0 - all dimensions approximateMale lock case 5.5" x 4.0" x .56" thick Lock stripped, cleaned, treated rust with KROIL internal parts lubed with military grade lubricant to ensure long life (the locks are already over 130 years old and function quite well). Matching design faceplates. Left with original patina. If you use 800.1000, 2000, 3000 grit sanpaper available at AUTOMOTIVE paint stores, the face plates will clean up nicely. Use from coars to fine in ascenting order, else scratches. Concave and convex faceplates were used to ensure door closing alignment and discontinued in the very early 1900's, then the designs were flat face, less ornate (and less expensive to manufacture). Catalog pix of Mallory and Wheeler locks with concave/convex faceplates shown for reference only and shows a unusual 45 degree cut of faceplates, but does show the faceplate hoizontal tab. The pre-1900's lock manufacturers issued catalogs but many chose not to do so. It wasn't until the 1900's that catalogs became mandatory as competition was aggressive.
