Had to retrofit a door lock for Mom to replace the original 1942 model mortise lock.
That's right, 72 years of service for this lockset and door and Mom is hoping I can keep it going a little longer. The deadbolt portion has a broken spring and the internals of the lockset look like a Swiss clock :blink:
Told her I could probably fix it, but being I ain't Swiss and such, how bout we put a standard lockset in :thumbup:
A lil' Bondo glass, some primer and paint, we'll have it looking like new :whistling
Cant beat these old TDL doors, substantially heavy, hard and straight as an arrow...even the frames are a solid two inch :thumbsup:
