TESTED - LATCH FUNCTION

Every lock was worked by hand on the bench. The latch bolt retracts with the spindle and springs back cleanly on all units. Cases open, internals are present, springs are live.

NOT TESTED - KEYED FUNCTION

No keys are included and the dead bolts were not thrown. These take a standard bit or skeleton key, which is sold everywhere in assortments for a few dollars - but we have not demonstrated the key function and we make no claim about it.

THE MAKER'S MARK

One lock carries a CREO U.S.A. cartouche cast into the face housing, photographed close up. We attribute it no further than what the casting actually says. You will see sellers tie CREO to one New Britain firm; we have not seen evidence for that on this lock and we are not repeating it.

Sold as architectural salvage. Original paint, patina and surface rust left on so you can finish them the way you want. Ships double-boxed with tracking.
