Had an old curio cabinet whose latch was missing, the door held wedged closed with a matchbook forever. Checked out Rockler, and saw a latch that looked close to what I imagined would work, cheap anough to risk it. Well, it dropped right in and in 5 minutes was a solution to a very old problem, working very well.
Perfect fit. The mounting holes and lock mounted exactly as my broken lock on my 30 year old grandfather clock. placed my order over the phone from one of their stores and saved shipping. The person I spoke to measured the mounting holes so I knew it was an exact fit. Thanks.
I have an antique cabinet from which the lock mechanism had been removed from the door leaving a empty cavity. Using a Dremel grinder I modified the cavity slightly and placed the new Cupboard Lock mechanism in the cavity. It is a very successful fix.
I am very happy with your product and look forward in purchasing more items in the near future because I have several antics that my wife needs fixing.
Bought a gun cabinet with 2 locks but was missing the key. This lock was an identical match and the key also fit the 2 existing locks. I'm quite satisfied.
I used this surface mounted lock to fix my grandmother's broken curio cabinet. The lock was very nice and works perfectly. Now all the great grandkids won't get into Mamaw's breakables.
This lock was a perfect replacement for the one on our display cabinet. A real pleasure to find something that fits without major modifications! The replacement (extra) key,38149 had be filed down on the end of the tang to fit into the keyhole.
I recently purchased a surface mounted lock to repair a roll top desk. The site was easily navigated, delivery was prompt, and the replacement matched the original.
I recently purchased a corner china cabinet but the locking system was broken so I purchased one from you. I am very impressed with the lock as it looks just like the origional. Thank You so much. I am very happy with your product. Will recommend to anyone.
This is an identical replacement part for an old antique curio cabinet. The lock we had quit working and we lost the key. I installed the new lock in a couple of minutes and it works great. The order arrived when it was suppose to and it's top notch.
I have 4 of the locks on my gun cabinet and ordered some replacement keys. I found that the 3/16" barrel keys fit a multitude of old locks and ordered keys for an old 1900 vintage kitchen cabinet/hutch. Items were shipped very promptly and are good quality.
I am in the process of moving and the lock on the curio cabinet that contains my collection of antique cars was broken. I found the exact replacement for the lock! Great company to work with, I received my item very quick! Thank You for making my purchase so easy!
The lock on my curio cabinet broke many years ago and have been searching ever since. Got a Rockler catalog and there is was---perfect! Great company to do business with.
This product was purchased to replace the lock on a china cabinet which broke years ago. I was unable to find a replacement anywhere, even in larger cities. Your product turned out to be an exact replacement and fit perfectly.
Good luck, sturdy, however for the specific jewelry box i was using it for, the lock was not very deep, it only hits a couple centimeters from the door. So we added washers to gain depth.
Rockler website is easy to navigate through and a good place to find hard to locate items. I located surface mounted locks for an upright cedar wardrobe in minutes. They were very reasonably priced. Quite satisfied with my purchase.
I purchased this lock to install on a gun cabinet that I built. It functions quite well and installs very easilly. My only complaint was the lack of any instructions, it would have been nice to have had a drill bit size for drilling the key hole, but that was easy enough to figure out.
Bought two. One of the keys was malformed and wouldn't work at all. Luckily, the one good key worked on both. I only used the inner locking part because these(keyhole covers) were not as well made as the original. Locks worked as needed.
The lock is a little stiff, but generally works well. The tabs holding front and back together were not pressed down all the way on the most recent specimen I received, but I was able to get it to lie flat. I have used this lock before, and there may be some small quality control issues in its production. Nothing serious, though. This is a perfectly good lock to use if you or your client prefer polished brass. For antique brass you need to go to another vendor.
Turning the key was a little difficult at first until I noticed that the face of the lock was a little depressed. An easy adjustment with a screwdriver solved the problem. Otherwise the lock works just fine.
Installed easily and matched the previous lock but poor metal key head snapped off after only 3 or 4 uses. Make sure you order extra keys. I would have gladly paid more for a better metal.
Lost th key to the existing one on the cabinet during a move, and not sure the keys that were for sale would work, so I purchased the whole set. I was able to open the door by removing the hinge pins.
I am replacing a broken lock in my curio cabinet; the replacement key looks sturdier than my broken one. I love the positive remarks from other customers about this lock and the company!

Stopped into your store a few weeks ago and was blown away by the amazing selection. I've been looking for a lock for a curio cabinet for several years, and this is exactly what I needed. I should have bought it while I was there, but knew I'd be shopping on your website. So....thanks for offering such a fantastic assortment of hardware items.

Can this lock be used on lefthinged and right hinged doors?

BEST ANSWER:Yes it can! As the locking bar slides thru left or right you do not even have to turn the mechanism 180 degrees and the key is inserted the same way in the right side or left lock placement . With this slide thru locking bar it could activate a security switch to indicate any door that is not locked. Quite a nice lock!

BEST ANSWER:My install was on a grandfather clock. The surface mounted lock went on the door and the spine (lock strike) went into a slot cut into the frame of the clock. Hope this helps you.

BEST ANSWER:the strait stem of the key is 1.25 inches, from the shoulder of the stem to the activating tab at the base of the stem that turns the locking mechanism.. The key works for a surface mount (interior) to a 3/4 inch thick door.

The key is about 2 inches long. I built 3 wood boxes to be mounted on posts and put the locks on the hinged side door. Boxes are 1 foot on a side cubes. The locks work very easily.
BEST ANSWER:I did not use the escutcheon in this case. The lock was for an antique secretary with the lock but w/o the key. The escutcheon was approximately 7/8" as I recall.

Does this lock & key kit come with: (a) a corresponding brass 'socket' for the lock bar to slide into when in locked position (b) the lockplate shown in the photo of the item?
