If you need a thin morticr lock this is it.

The lock access was horozinal and the escutcheon plate needed to be vertical which made it difficult to install on my cabinet making the key difficult to use. Maybe it would have worked better for a blanket chest.

I bought the lock for a cedar chest for my oldest daughter. I had looked at other sites and found the same lock but a little more expensive. This lock worked perfectly, was easy to install, and came with everything needed. I had previously built a wedding chest for my youngest daughter out of cherry and wish that I had found this lock before I utilized a half-mortise. Somehow the search engine for Woodcraft did not display the lock at that time. Will buy several more at the first of the year.

Mechanism worked hard. In a month the aluminum key wore down a millimeter till it no longer operated the lock. Comes with only one key. Dead key = dead lock.

I gave this lock set a 2 star rating due to the poor design and mechanical flaws. I actually had to file the catch to opperate the lock. Evem still does not have smooth operation when turning the key. Key has very sloppy fit in lock while opperating. You must use at least a 1-1/4" thick material for mortice in order to properly attach the eschechen plate.

lock was installed on a 18th century reproduction hour glass design sea chest, looked great and works very nicely.

I found the brass finish to be tarnished/uneven so I did not use this lock.
