    Default Chubb changeable keylock

    I think this is a Chubb changeable lock, shown here cut-a-way for exhibition. Photographed at the Harry Miller collection.

    Here is a link to a slightly different version of the "Chubb's Patent Change Key Lock", produced in 1910. There is a video which demonstrates the operation of the lock.

    Two very obvious differences between these locks are the orientation of the lever springs, and the orientation of the keyway.

    Unrelated, but from the same site, are some other fascinating old locks, the Bode Panzer, the "Russian Lock" and an antique strongbox, with three keys and an interesting opening sequence.
