Jonny3535 Hi there, I joined to see if any one has any information on a lock I’ve found in the local woods, it’s an ashwells patent toilet door lock with the enamel disc with vacant engaged on, hope you can help
Arcade Al All the references from a Google search pertain to Victorian locks. Probably not a lot more that anyone can tell you without a picture of it?
Jonny3535 thanks for the reply,the bolt looks like its a copper colour,on the back it has PAT No 6928,is there any were to look the patent no up
Arcade Al ORIGINAL PATENT APPLICATION NUMBER 6,928 FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN INDICATING DOOR FASTENINGS FOR APARTMENTS AND CLOSETS (DULWICH). You can order a copy of it but I don’t know if there is any way to view UK patents online for free?
Dean Nickel http://www.google.co.uk Type in “patent search” and in the first page of results should be google patents.
Jonny3535 Found out it was made by C. Cross & co. of Herne Hill London, I’m not having much luck finding any information about them, I’m trying to find out when it was made,is it an old one or a reproduction ? Anyone help
