Large Carpenter Lock

Steve Royal

Hi,
I have a right-handed Carpenter rim lock on the back door of my cottage.
Carpenter locks are everywhere around here, but this one is unusual.
It’s quite large (230mm x 150mm), and has a privacy bolt.
It carries the Carpenter No 60 brass seal with the King William coat of arms.
Also, each component in the lock has the Roman numeral “XII” engraved on it.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a keeper for it, and I’d like to try to get hold of one. Any ideas as to where I might be able to find one?
I’m also looking for some doorknobs for it. The shaft is about 9mm wide, which won’t take a normal knob.
I welcome any suggestions!
Cheers!
Steve Royal

Tried Federation Hardware in the city ?

There is also a large reproduction hardware dealer over near port road, not far from Coca-Cola (the name escapes me)

Good idea!
I’ve bought from Federation in the past, and they’re worth checking out for this.
The other one is Stepneys. I’ll have a look at them next time I’m in Adelaide, but I don’t know that they’d have what I’m looking for.

Might also be worth watching ebay, there was someone on there selling repro strikes. Whether the size would be correct or not is another question though ….
