🔑 Vintage Mortise Lock Crystal Knob Set with Skeleton Key - Old Time Elegance Review

When I was looking at a house (a fire station commercial property) I needed access to every room. The old pick locks were no longer legal because they could be locked and not opened when an exit was needed. These mortise locks fit my 100 year old doors perfectly. They look very nice and perform their functions well. When searching for mortise locks, it was difficult to find how to open the secret lock from the outside. For this set, simply use a screwdriver through the external lockpick slot…

We bought this bathroom door set about three years ago and it worked fine initially. Things got a bit dodgy a few weeks ago and yesterday I had to kick in the bathroom door to get my husband out. I took a photo of the inside of the lock to show the problem: metal fatigue due to the rear latch being broken (it's the little corner piece at the top center/left). The parts look like they're made out of zinc, which isn't ideal for high-performance parts like the latch on a bathroom door. If you're…

This one didn't fit my old mortise lock and handle. I did but had to repaint the door and replace the panel because the lock and doorknob are not the same dimensions as my 100 year old lock. Although it matches and looks good with other handles in my house. Very shiny. The door latch lever is a little firmer than I was hoping, but it works. There were already larger holes in the door itself, so I had some leeway when installing it. The handle stock did not exactly match the previous one and so…

After reading the reviews I decided to buy this kit to replace two locks on two doors in a 1925 house with original door handles and locks. This set was an exact replacement for a door without the need for additional holes to be drilled or the door modified. For the second door I had to drill the doorknob hole a little more to accommodate it and gouge out where you screw in the flat part of the mortise lock, but very minimally. A downside that doesn't affect use is that there is no keyhole on…

We temporarily live in an old house and all the doors except the front door have mortise locks. The existing mortise locks are old and falling apart. After a few weeks of looking for a replacement that didn't cost a small fortune, I came across this offer at Revain. I thought why not and ordered. It arrived a few days before the scheduled delivery date, which was a big plus initially. Installation was easy enough and I was lucky I didn't have to drill the door because they fit into pre-existing

Our front doors and some bathroom doors were modernized prior to buying the house but none of the bedroom door locks were replaced so they still use the old single key hardware. I wanted to add privacy and extra security so I was looking for a good mortise lock to replace the old ones. I finally found it (after a long search). Received yesterday, installed and works great. Not all parts fit perfectly, but that's not a disadvantage of the lock. Most likely, there are only a few different types…
