    Hi
    This is my first post on here so hello everyone
    I found the forum while researching this lock. I have an identical lock that I found in a workshop clearance. Does anyone have a rough idea what it may be worth.

    many. Thanks

    Andy

    Nice lock. A great pity no original key. They are a major PIA to make.

    Default Old Door Lock..Anyone know anything about it ?

    Your lock appears to be a Barron's lock patented by Robert Barron in 1778. On the Barron's lock the posts (or projections) are on the levers rather than the bolt. It appears your lock has two levers. I'm not quite sure how the wing-like mechanism below the bolt is suppose to operate. Maybe a picture of the lock's other side might help.

    It's a Robert Kemp Union lock as has already been stated.

    Thanks, "oldlock," for setting the record straight. Somehow I missed your earlier posting. The lock, however, does have some similarity to the Barron's lock.
