Forest Cobbler Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Hi Can anyone point us in the right direction for a double hooked box lock like this? Many thanks, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Cobbler Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thank you. Unfortunately these are a couple of mil too big in each direction which puts the pin just a bit too low for the hole in the box and strike plate. I shall keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Cobbler Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 If the box didn't have an inset strike plate then we could probably make one of these work. It's frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaky Posted April 29, 2023 Report Share Posted April 29, 2023 Is it to replace or replicate? If this one is broken it might be repaired if the customer is willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this one is broken it might be repaired if the customer is willing to pay. The bar with the hooks on would need replacing as Mark had to get a hacksaw to it to gain access to the box. Also it would have to work off a different key, because one of the customer's relatives had taken the original and had helped himself to some of the contents. So she wouldn't want him to still be able to open it. Would that be more than a repair would cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
