Hi all i have just joined the form so looking forward to loosing hours sifting through the information. I am currently working on a couple of projects here in Ireland with houses built in the late 1700 so will be keeping an eye out for the original locks etc although many have been replaced over the years.

At the moment I am looking for a top quality replacement horizontal mortice with a handle set back of 6 inches for doors that have has the originals replaced with poor quality modern locks. Any of the modern replacements I have found are not great. Does anyone know of a modern lock that is close in quality to the original locks?

Also is there anyone on the forum who would have a large quantity of refurbished original mortice locks to sell or who could refurbish and key original locks?

thanks Paul
