I purchased an old roll top...
I purchased an old roll top desk but there was no key and the locks had been schellacked over. Could not find parts anywhere. Found at Rockler. Good job. Peace

A great lock
This lock is excellent quality and works great. I would have given it 5 stars if it had come with instructions. Care must be taken when installing it to ensure that it longs up.

roll desktop lock
It replaced a European lock of the same type. The installation required of the lock cylinder hole to be enlarged. The hole was enlarged by sanding ( the cylinder was only .003")

Want to use on a box
Karen D on Apr 30, 2017
I am a caregiver and I needed this lock to use on a folding door going down the stairs and I already have the same lock on another folding door in the house leading to the upstairs.
Thank you:)

Bonnie D on Aug 25, 2017
how does it work?
noe c on May 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: This lock is designed to mount from the back side, the cylinder is slid through a hole made by you about 3/4" wide and deep, mounting screws attach it from the back, it comes with a nice beauty trim ring, finishes off with the catch plate which is mortised into the desk top. Bored deeper to allow clear and positive latching, a very sturdy lock, I purchased two and the work perfectly !
Can an installation diagram be provided?
Tim M on Jan 30, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Comes with. This is a difficult lock to install right on the first try. The trick is getting the center of the core high enough to make sure that the plate lowers far enough to engage the latch hooks.
The tambour lock is more forgiving. I use it exclusively for my locking pistol boxes.
Does this lock spread open to lock and close together to unlock?
Joshua H on Feb 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Joshua,
Yes this lock spreads open to lock and closes together to unlock. The tabs on the locking mechanism catch on the back side of the plate once in the lock/full open position. You will need to mortise an area deep enough behind the plate to allow the locking mechanism tabs to go past the plate.

Can this lock be used to lock two adjacent cabinet doors?
James M on Aug 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I used this lock for a cedar chest I built for my grand daughter. I used it because I didn't want any thing to show other than were the key went in the front. I would suggest you use a couple of scrap wood pieces before you mount it to the doors. Getting the latch aligned is very important to being able to make the lock work.
Is this self locking, meaning will it lock without the the key
Dennis W on Mar 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes. As long as the strike is installed properly
So it’s a push button release without the key, and if you turn the key it requires the key to open?
Tthomas on May 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It is always in the locked position so it requires a turn of the key to open, but it is spring loaded so that you can close the lid or door and it will snap locked without the key required.
