Willenhall Locksmith/Collector
Thought I'd finally make the effort to join this interesting group.
I'm a total lock nerd but alas most of it's boring upvc style work these days.
I have been working as a locksmith in Willenhall for approx ten years and have acquired various interesting items for my collection.
Thought I'd share a few, some I've recently brought from another collector in the area.
Would be interested if anyone has any further information on any of them.
- AVA style deposit lock, recently rekeyed this using a couple of old ava nightlatches

Anyhow, look forward to having a good read of the forum and see what you're all collecting.
