I suspect your meant the ' Mersey ' lock. They were not made by Chubb. The name of the company escapes me for the present but no doubt someone else will recall.

Anyway - what do you want to know ?

I will start right now, Can't promise I wont pass out first though.

I did a Google Images search for "mersey lock" (without the quotes) and came up with a nice article and pictures:

I have at least 2 but they both have the black cover/case on, I haven't worked out how to remove it to get to the workings.

It usually requires the action of the key to remove the cover.

Without a key one must either pick the lock (not easy) or damage the plastic cover.

The article goes into this a little, the case cannot be removed unless the lock is open.

Yep I have the keys, I just had a couple of difficult/ sticky ones for some reason - I managed to wiggle the cover of one of them earlier today.

Wiggle the cover OFF, that should read!

I have only seen this lock once Max and that was with my friend who is in the safe business as far as I can remember. I also believe that the plastic back cover makes it vulnerable to such malfunctions as you stated out.

The detail with the bolt is very interesting, I will pay attention to detail when I get my hands on one someday

Doug, that cutaway looks beautiful!
Really nice work my friend!
