Doug MacQueen While on a trip to N.J. recently I made a quick stop at the Mt. Holly Prison Museum to check out an unusual John Scott safe. Mt. Holly is just east of Philadelphia. Built around 1810, the huge front door lock and key were definitely “old school” in style.
Chris Belcher It is odd that the larger lock appears to be upside down. (pic 2). Could have caused a security problem?
Brian Denyer Amazing lot of photo’s and a interesting mounting. Thanks for sharing the images. Always learning something new. By the way how long is the key? Brian …………………………………
Brian Denyer Thanks for the answer. I have one lock that needs both hands on the key to turn the bolt. Another key is 22 inches long with several levers. It was used in prison to lock the first gate while standing outside the 2nd gate. Brian ……………………………
