Restored lock pair – CORBIN Company pocket door locks from the 1800′s – 1900′s. Self aligning face plates with a unique fancy engraved type finish and design. The self aligning feature (to ensure the male and female lock would align) was only on the oldest of pocket door lock sets as manufacturing costs prohibited them continuing into the 1900′s. Fancy face lock sets gave way to the plain face lock sets which were the norm until the whole concept of pocket doors went away. The oldest homes on the east coast to the west coast have single or double pocket doors. This set is for a double pocket door. The face plates show the attention to detail in the manufacturing of these really ornate locks. No equivalent new product on the market today. Key operates the latch (one lock engaging the other part). One of my large collection of skeleton keys allows me to fit this lock perfectly and the mechanism works very smoothly. Mounting holes on 6 5/8 centers (note there are two holes on each plate). Face plates are 1 1/4″ wide x 1/8″ thick. Case sizes are both 5 1/4″ tall and are 3 an 3 1/2″ deep, respectively. These are for the narrow door application due. All pop-out mechanisms work as you would expect. There is a spring inside each lock that applies tension to the “pop-out” handle. This keeps the handle inside the lock until you pop it out. Very clever design for these type of locks. Thanks for looking at this item and maybe you learned a little more about the history of these fine lock sets. The item “EXQUISITE Pair Pocket Sliding Door Mortise Lock SelfAlign CORBIN. Withkey” is in sale since Thursday, June 27, 2019. This item is in the category “Antiques\Architectural & Garden\Hardware\Locks, Latches & Keys”.
