<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 10439182, member: 6444&quot;]It isn’t clear from your pics how much of the lock mechanism you have, and how much is missing. This type of lock is a mechanical nightmare, so is seldom found fully intact and working on a 100 year old piece like this. Are you sure you need to restore it? Do you foresee the need to actually lock it?</p><p><br /></p><p>This type of lock is sometimes called a rod lock, because of the two long rods that have to be moved when the key is rotated. If you have the long rods in place and are missing only the stops on either end then it will be much easier to replace.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are missing the rods as well as the guides and stops, it will require a lot more custom fitting. You could start with something like the rod lock at eBay <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/224637539470?_skw=rod+lock&amp;itmmeta=01JWBMKWSEXJCCQN2FXDSCGNG3&amp;hash=item344d70d48e:g:fB4AAOSw1qtfHDFi&amp;itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ffkzASznu7wbfQN9sbHpD%2F4gZ2bssX8b4IH%2BdhXzJh70OjvU4xDnTJvZKeU8gHoPVLibh%2FQzHraU7f5WPf7ciYSfRRFBDcbdp0H3aIy3PsbNpLMTV8d5elh%2BP05Ox6iXezH%2BN7WKf%2BrhvTj4TfH4nYTtIkzFFy7656knGlZUZAfMT4hENZwoz1RSFANWBJGdi2CorOtjmch%2BzpnzmLhxt9oG2TvRkewtMm0KKM%2Fmn%2BJA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR67Nz_TiZQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/224637539470?_skw=rod+lock&amp;itmmeta=01JWBMKWSEXJCCQN2FXDSCGNG3&amp;hash=item344d70d48e:g:fB4AAOSw1qtfHDFi&amp;itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ffkzASznu7wbfQN9sbHpD%2F4gZ2bssX8b4IH%2BdhXzJh70OjvU4xDnTJvZKeU8gHoPVLibh%2FQzHraU7f5WPf7ciYSfRRFBDcbdp0H3aIy3PsbNpLMTV8d5elh%2BP05Ox6iXezH%2BN7WKf%2BrhvTj4TfH4nYTtIkzFFy7656knGlZUZAfMT4hENZwoz1RSFANWBJGdi2CorOtjmch%2BzpnzmLhxt9oG2TvRkewtMm0KKM%2Fmn%2BJA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR67Nz_TiZQ" rel="nofollow">224637539470</a> or similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]525192[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
