Colonial Carpenter Rim Lock Set

5" x 7-1/4" x 1-1/8" (Not including keeper)

Colonial American hardware was initially all wrought iron made by local blacksmiths.  Even screws were handmade.  Brass hardware was imported and was considerably more expensive.  Undersized doorknobs were commonly used to conserve brass.  Detailing was plain with the occasional turning of a doorknob foot. Locks were imported from England until about 1840.
