I need help recognising these particular lock parts...
Hi there
I am wondering if anyone might be able to help me find out the correct names for these particular antique lock/ key parts from these photos? I refer to the numbers from the images below.
1. This sprung-loaded tumbler?
2. This circular skirting around the lock pin? Am I right in thinking that this skirting was to prevent lock picking?
3. The pierced gating in the lock bolt?
4. The key wards/ bits?
Many thanks to anyone that may be able to help
1 uneducated observation.
The part vertical mounted part identified as a tumbler can't be a tumbler. It has no gate to interact with. It looks like it acts on the bolt pushing it into the locked position. It also looks like it would retain the key if unlocked. Was this off a cash box of some kind?
