Glen Huey is a woodworker who 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, which is a piece with an interesting history. To lock the top, he used our CL-5 chest lock.

Half Mortise Chest Locks

I am very pleased with the brass, half mortise chest lock and inset escutcheon. It's of good quality and will really complete the old pine chest I'm working on. The order arrived quickly and was well packaged. Thank you.
