* Lockset comes without a key, but we could make some! See description below for more info.
Elegant, antique, door set salvaged from a lovely,1920's home in Kunkletown, PA. It's a complete set which includes all parts you'll need to install: 2 glass knobs with brass shanks (bases), 2 stamped steel escutcheons, 1 steel mortise lock, 1 steel strike plate for the door jamb, 1 steel spindle with 2 setscrews to connect the knobs, and 8 installation screws to connect the lock and plates to the door. All steel parts were originally brass plated, and fortunately, much of the brass remains.
The lock is reversible and could accommodate the swing of any door.
The knobs are fluted and multi-faceted, and the escutcheons have an elegant Art Deco style design.
The door that the sets were removed from was painted, but the previous owners did a good job of not getting any paint on the knobs and just a little paint along the edges of the escutcheons. We didn't clean any of the parts so they still retain their original patina. However, if you prefer your hardware bright and shiny, they could be cleaned to a brilliant shine with some "Brasso" and #0000 grade steel wool.
The set is in great condition with only the typical tiny nicks and light scratches that you would expect to find on 100-year old hardware. There are no breaks, cracks, chips, dents, or deep scratches, etc. The glass knobs are firmly affixed to their bases (no jiggling or looseness).
The lock was opened, inspected, and we sprayed grease on and around all parts to facilitate their movement. The insides of the locks are fairly clean considering their age (see close up photo). If you want a key to operate the lock, we could modify an old skeleton key to work with the lock for $15/key--email us after the auction if you are interested.
