We now only accept your real name for new registrations. This is in line with other professions such as in the scientific, academic and the humanities world but here we positively include the lay sector - we welcome everybody interested in Antique Locks.

The current registration process now also invites new members to provide a brief biographic sketch enabling the moderators here to properly introduce you to the membership. New registrations are given the default access levels but moderators may also assign additional privileges in the private areas according to your interests.

Note: Existing members may also upgrade to Real Names, but its not compulsory, nothing will change with your existing access levels, email me if you would like to change your username. But I would especially like to thank everybody for helping to make Antique-Locks the special and evolving space that its become.

Stay safe everyone - no virus here...
