Thats funny you both joked about making my own as Iāve considered that with the two old Yales Iāve got- theyāre still rusting away so making a fancy display mount with some boltwork and linkages would at least make use of them.

Never got around to it though, as you can see these havenāt got the nice bronze cases so arenāt the prettiest locks to start with, and TBH Iām not overly enthusiastic about spending months making yet another pile of mild steel thatās going to rust from day one, but you never know it might get done one day.
The one that 00247 has posted is very nice but serious money, and TBH if I had that sort of cash spare for something I want but donāt really need I wouldnāt have to think- itād be this

Itās probably the size of my shed, and cause power-cuts for the neighbours every time its switched on, and what the concrete foundations would make of 3 tons of DSGās finest probably wouldnāt have a happy endingā¦
