Restoring and Repairing Vintage Locks
Many older locks fail due to wear and tear, rust, or broken components. Our team understands the intricate designs and mechanisms used in traditional locks, ensuring each restoration is handled with the utmost care. We carefully repair internal mechanisms, refurbish decorative lock plates, and ensure smooth functionality while preserving the original character.
Trusted by Collectors, Dealers, and Restorers
With years of experience working with historic locking systems, we are a trusted choice for antique dealers, collectors, and restoration experts. Our clients rely on our attention to detail and the skill required to maintain these historic pieces. Whether you need a lock repaired or a missing key replicated, we provide a tailored solution to keep everything functional and authentic.
Replacement Locks and Key Cutting
We stock a wide range of traditional cabinet and drawer locks, making it easier to find an authentic replacement when necessary. If an original key has been lost, we can expertly cut a new one directly from the lock, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless operation.
A Bit of History – The Origins of Locking Mechanisms
The Romans pioneered early locking technology, introducing metal pin-tumbler locks and keys made from bronze, iron, or precious metals. Their innovative designs influenced many of the mechanisms still in use today. While we don’t stock Roman locks, we certainly appreciate their craftsmanship and lasting impact on modern security.
