    Default information on lock and key

    Posted in wrong thread, I think, although received an informative reply.

    I have a large lock and key found in my fathers garden in the 1970s. The key measures 9" in length
    The lock is 7"/7"
    I would appreciate some information, seems to be circa 1700. I have been told it could be German or French,would it have been from a church or a building of that kind?

    It does not work at present, but I think with some cleaning it could be restored to working order. what would be the best way to clean the lock.
