    Default sargent and yale

    went to a little local antique shop. the building used to be a ford garage built around 1900. I saw this lock set for 15.00. the owner told me she took it off the original door. the lock is a sargent easy spring and the cylinder lock is a yale. both of which I collect. :) I'm just trying to get a time frame for either or both. any info would be helpful. Thank you :)

    Sargent is early 20th century but likely not quite as old as 1900. Yale cylinder would be post 1960 according to the logo.
