Nick Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Does anyone have any information on the mechanism of Renaissance locks? Specifically, I want to know how the locks pictured below work. I know how warded locks work, but this thing looks like it's got a lot of extra parts. Of course, the complcated looking trunk lid locks from the medieval and Renaissance period are nothing more than some bars on pivots, so maybe it just looks complicated. Quote

Ironscot Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I'd like to take the third one to my locksmith and ask him to cut me a couple of dupicates. LOL Quote

Without a doubt Pepin, Wisconsin is on my must go to places list now. Any bunch of monkeys can make big stuff. To make little stuff that is that big in its form is awesome. Thanks for posting the link Mr. Thomas. Quote
