I make these custom presentation boxes for Civil War era percussion revolvers. The half mortise jewelry box locks work really well in this application. The are relatively easy to install and are functional.

In the photo it shows how I half mortised the lock in. I used a small router with a small straight cutter,and cut from the front edge down. I clamped a piece of wood to the front so the router had a bigger base to ride on.Then using VERY sharp chisles cleaned up the mortise.There is a lot of cut and fit. I used an angle drill with spur bit to drill the key hole from the back and finished from the front to prevent tear out. The slot in the key hole is more difficult. I used an electric drill and smaller bit to get the slot. An escutcheon for the key hole would be a great addition. But the lock is reasonably priced and it works!

No instructions included, but wasn’t too hard to figure out. Not sure how it will hold up over time, but not bad for the price.

Lock came quickly and was exactly what I wanted/expected. Easy to install. I wish I had the option of buying a second key.

These are almost too easy to install. Have a sharp chisel and some patience and you'll wind up with a beautifully installed lockset. An Exacto knife helps clean up the cuts around the edges of the lock and this becomes a very very simple and tight fitting installation.

Nice inexpensive little lock for small boxes and easy to install. Directions were thorough and all it takes is sharp chisels, a little common sense, and patience to cut out a perfect mortice and fit lock to achieve a "profesional" look. A good set of Exacto Knives saves much time and effort in the final fitting and my results were outstanding.

Nice lock for small boxes but...no instructions included. Figure it out for yourself.
