Thread: CHUBB rim lock

I was given this lock many years ago by a friend, and until today I had never seen another.

Very similar, this one also has a non-original key (It has been cut from another Chubb key) and does not fit very well, the lock really does not like it much! Fortunately the levers have not been got at, but the end wards are a bit worn, suggesting that a (different) inappropriate key has been used in the past.

Does anyone have any idea when these locks were made? and does the marking "S 14" have any significance? Probably just to identify the lock but if anyone knows different....

Let`s Try again shall we?..... This time in glorious Technicolor....

' S ' markings on a lock usually indicates that it was part of a master keyed suite.

As to the age, if there is no serial number then the lock has to be post 1946.

Nice lock, Parautoptic. I see yours has a different shaped tail piece. Yours is flat and more modern looking and mine has a square shaped brass section. Minor difference.

Thanks for posting.

A very nice lock,I have not seen one before,good photos as well.
