Description

Our most successful master skeleton keys! We've found that this pair of differently notched bit keys will typically operate 2 out of 3 antique mortise locks (results not guaranteed - operability can only be determined by testing). Made of zinc, with bright brass plating. Please note: this set consists of items W-06HG-400PK & W-06HG-400NK, which are also sold separately as well.

Overall length: 3 1/8". Barrel length (from bow to bit): 1 7/8". Barrel diameter: 1/8". Bit is 7/16" W x 3/8" H.

Hardware Tip

The bow is the ring part that you hold, the barrel is the tube in the center and the bit is the tooth like part on the end.

Key to the kingdom

Comments:

I spent the cold, hard winter re-discovering the beautiful brass hardware in my 1920's bungalow. And many of the missing pieces were found at House of Antique Hardware.com together, we brought out the best in this nice little house.

Keys worked for newer mortise locks not older locks

Comments:

My first floor appears to have older mortise locks (ornate and dulled metal) and these keys didn't work in any of the locks (4 locks); However, the second floor appears to have relatively newer mortise locks (less ornate and shinier metal) and both keys worked in all locks (3 locks). Since I was hoping for keys for the second floor, it was an overall success! The keys feel relatively sturdy when handling them, but it feels that they have the potential to bend over time when turning them in the somewhat ""sticky"" locks, although I haven't observed any bending yet.

Old House/Lost Keys

Comments:

The very old skeleton key to the very old (original) front door of our very old house (1870)was lost and there was no way to secure the door. I ordered a pair of your skeleton doors keys. The first one we tried worked. Hallejulah! This very old lady is one grateful customer.

Opens old locks

Comments:

Allows us to use some original mortise door locks on our interior doors. However, while they do open and close the locks, on our locks the keys fit and ""hang"" very loose in the locks, so we can not leave them in the lock and you have to work just a little to get the alignment right.

Perfect for new owners of a very old home

Comments:

Great to have on hand in a house with old locks. The keys were lost several owners ago and these are great to test what still works and what needs to be fixed/replaced.

Perfect for Our Needs

Comments:

We purchased these for a craft that we did in our women's organization. They were exactly what we needed and the price was right in our budget. The service was exceptional. I would strongly recommend this company.
