Shutter Locks > 610 – Forged Slide Bolt

Easily the most common shutter locks across the country. First produced in the early 1800’s to take advantage of the new processes of rolling plate iron and machine manufacture of wood screws.

The 1-1/2” wide plate and hand-forged 3/4 ” x 1/4 ” lock bar are seen on the preponderance of early shutters.

We’ve had many installations on early homes where the fastener holes on our locks have matched the evidence of the original hardware. This style of lock has been in continuous production and use since it’s inception two hundred years ago.
