ORIGINAL HIGH QUALITY SOLID BRASS VICTORIAN BATHROOM / TOILET LOCK.  RECLAIMED FROM A DEMOLISHED VICTORIAN HOSPITAL IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. LOCKS AND HARDWARE FROM THIS ERA WERE RENOWNED FOR THEIR QUALITY AND LONGEVITY. ACID DIPPED, STERALISED AND MACHINE POLISHED TO A HIGH LUSTRE MAKES THIS LOCK READY FOR FITMENT. SUITABLE FOR LEFT HAND OR RIGHT HAND OPENING DOORS. THE VACANT WORDING ON THE DISC HAS STARTED TO DULL, THIS CAN BE TOUCHED UP WITH BLACK PAINT BUT I WILL INCLUDE A BRAND NEW REPLACEMENT DISC AS SEEN IN THE LAST IMAGE WITH THE SALE OF THIS LOCK TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL VACANT / ENGAGED DISC IF REQUIRED.   LOCKS OF THIS ILK HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF DISPLAYING THE STATUS OF THE BATHROOM EXTERNALLY. THIS LOCK CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH MAKES IT IDEAL FOR FAMILY BATHROOMS. BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATIONS BEING PEDDLED ABOUT AS THESE ARE FROM THE FAR EAST, THESE WILL NOT LAST 100 YEARS OR APPRECIATE IN VALUE AND RARITY LIKE CLASSIC BRITISH  LOCKS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REASONABLY PRICED REPRODUCTION LOCK SIMILAR TO THIS ITEM I SELL THESE TOO.
