Old Victorian Mortice Lock Brass and Steel early 3 Lever Has 1 Working Key

Hi there and welcome to this listing, 

Here I have for sale one very rare and hard to find 1870's vintage 3 lever Victorian Mortice dead Lock and 1 working key which works the lock well with a nice solid snap action.

There is a brass keeper plate and 4 brass wood screws included with this lock. 

This lock is suitable for both left and right hand doors as there is no latch bolt on this lock to worry about.

 
This lock has 3 levers (plus some internal warding) and is quite a secure lock.

"Warding" means that a lock has some extra metal (brass) protruding inside of the lock from the lock case, this is of a certain profile and in order for the key to fit inside the lock or turn, it must have the same sort of corresponding profile cut out at the bottom (and top) of the key flag, if the key does not have the same corresponding profile cut out at the bottom (and top) of the key flag, then it simply will not fit inside the lock or turn. 

This lock is from my personal collection of vintage locks and dates from the 1870's Victorian era.

It is an early 3 spring lever mortice dead lock that has been beautifully made and engineered to work well.   

It is in good working order and in great condition so looks great despite its age and many years of use.

Please bare this in mind that this is a very old lock from the 1870's era and it may have some age related marks and show signs of many years use. Please see all photos and study them carefully before you decide to buy this fabulous vintage lock, as I always do my very best to give an 100% honest description.

Again, This lock in good condition for its vintage age but being an USED, old original lock it does have some marks and show some obvious signs of use and wear which only adds to its original character ! so please bare this in mind before you decide to buy this great rare antique lock and study all the photographs very carefully as they show the actual lock that you will receive and also some relevant measurements that may be needed.
