Review on 🔑 PRIME-LINE E 2294 Vintage Style Indoor Mortise Lock Assembly Kit with Antique Skeleton Key - Cast Steel Construction, Brass Plated Finish - Reversible Latch Bolt - 1/4” Max Square Spindle - Backset by Matthew Carr

Better quality will cost you dearly. This is the only replacement at such a low price and it works at least as well as a very old original. The description says it is 'cast' steel but note that most of it is not cast metal but stamped sheet metal. However, anything but real metal latchbolts are meant to be durable, and they are strong and thin. Please note they are supplied for doors with a latch and handle on the right hand side of the door. funny but true. You have to open it and flip the top locking mechanism to use the door with the handle on the left. This is easy to do if you are into needlework. Just make sure you notice how it's put together before you start. A quick photo from your phone will help if you're a little lost. While it's open you can also oil the inside. Supplied with two keys. One star down because it doesn't come ready for a doorknob on the left side of the door like most doors do. Attached are photos with instructions on changing from left latch to right latch.
