    Default What can you tell me about this lock?

    Hello everyone on A-L,

    Please can you tell me about this lock? I know a little, but want to know more.
    I'm sure that some amongst you will be able to give me lots of history about it, and maybe even have some photos of the mechanisms.
    Thank you.

    Is that the Admiralty in the background?

    Good morning Phil,

    It is HRH Residence, Buckingham Palace, just along the Mall, the big place, you can't miss it, just by the fancy roundabout

    Default Buckingham palace gate

    Hi

    the gates had the locks replaced in 1977 by Chubb 7 locks total (special detainer lock with old custodial keys)
    all lock are keyed alike.

    I have worked on these locks since the early 90s


    regards
    Colin
