  • For step by step instructions on installing a half mortise lock please visit our Blog.
  • All hardware includes all fasteners needed for installation. You can order extra fasteners if required.
  • All dimensions are measured width by height.
  • Locks are not available in the antique finish. To achieve an antiqued look, simply give the body of the lock a coat of stain.

These drawer locks are English; made by the Squire family. They have been making locks for more than 300 years.

The external case is solid brass. The internal mechanism is cased in a steel box, just as the old ones were. The operate smoothly and reliably. Each lock is supplied with solid brass screws and one decorative key as shown. Optional strike plates and extra keys are available for all locks and are shown below.

LK-1, 2, and 3 are single lever locks with pressed brass cases. LK-4 and 5 are two lever locks with extruded brass cases. The extruded cases are thicker and the lock movements are more precise. The extruded locks also have deep pins and are better suited for use with our Chippendale pulls and escutcheons.

Glen Huey is often featured in Popular Woodworking magazine. We are always delighted when he uses our hardware. In the June 2007 issue, he built a Southern Sugar Chest. Sugar Chests are so interesting, I have one and I keep gloves and hats in the deep top. Anyway, he used our LK-2 drawer lock for the drawer.

Half Mortise Drawer Locks

Works good and installed easily. I wish I had bought an extra key; for the price maybe it could have had an extra key.
Service at HB was as usual, great.
