3-1/2″ Brass Chest Lock – Hand-Crafted by A&E Squire (UK)
Heritage Security for Your Finest Furniture.
Elevate your next woodworking project with the Horton Brasses CL-2 Brass Chest Lock. This isn’t a mass-produced casting; it is handmade in England by A&E Squire, a family of locksmiths who have been perfecting their trade for nearly 100 years.
Designed for substantial pieces like blanket chests, tool trunks, and vintage cedar boxes, this 3-1/2″ lock offers a level of mechanical integrity and “old-world” soul that only a century of British expertise can produce.
Why the CL-2 Stands Apart:
A Century of Craftsmanship: Hand-forged by A&E Squire in England, ensuring every mechanism operates with a smooth, deliberate click.
Solid Brass Construction: Built to last for generations, the heavy-gauge brass develops a rich, authentic patina over time.
Traditional Steel Keys: Each lock comes with two decorative plain steel keys, maintaining the historical accuracy required for high-end restoration.
Ready for the Bench: Includes a matching receptacle and solid brass wood screws for a historically correct installation.
