    Default Wanted: Old Corbin Cabinet Lock

    Looking for an old Corbin cabinet lock. There is a plate on the side where the key enters that is 1-7/8 wide and 5/8 inch tall. The plate has holes on each end for mounting. The housing for the locking mechanism is 1-1/4 wide and 1/2 tall. The bolt is flat and slides through the housing. Please see the attached picture of this lock that is over fifty years old.

    Default Wanted: Old Corbin Cabinet Lock

    In the UK any locksmith should be able to supply one to fit although it would not be made by Corbin-in the US I doubt that it would be any different.

    Really that type of lock isn't that common here. Most lock shops wouldn't stock it or anything like it here. Heck finding a shop that can cut the key would be a problem anymore. It would be special order for me and no it wouldn't be made by CCL as I would have to go to an importer to get a lock like it from England or other parts of the planet. Old stock from a locksmith in the NE part of the USA or Ebay will be the only way to find that lock made by CCL.

    If I knew the dimensions then I could send it from here-and on a daily basis we cut keys to them
    Cheers
