Hi All,
One of the Australian wood magazines end of last year had an article about box hardware.
I have been finding it hard to purchase good quality locks lately. ( suppliers stocking Viola locks are running out of stock, Jacksons are rare as now as well) The cheap plated locks are absolutely a pile of garbage in my opinion.
I purchased 6 sets of the full mortice locks with matching hinges. It was the most economic way to purchase from the UK $1280.00 Australian. Broke the bank!

Hinges are 8mm X 45mm 3mm slot, locks are 8mm X 80mm face is 3mm slot lock is 5mm wide further 40mm slot.
Locks have 2 keys and all hardware has brass slotted screws provided. ( I use some steel Phillips for mock up fitment) No escutcheons provided in the kit.
Postage was included 56 pounds so about $100.00 Andrew Crawford was most helpful SmartboxMaker.com
