Some years ago, a friend of ours needed a great deal of hardware for his house. Not finding what he needed, he decided to have some made. As sometimes happens, passion got the better of him and this is the result. While Artefacts does not normally carry reproduction items, these works are well made and can be difficult to find as antiques. Here's a good example... |

Rim Lock Striker
As is the case with most locks, the striker is placed on the jamb and separate from the rest of the bits. Most often, the door is removed and the striker left behind. Well, the lock doesn't work without the striker! We have boxes of locks in need of this part and many of our customers are in the same boat. We decided to have a striker made. You've been asking for it...here it is! 4" - $10

If you know what a Carpenter Lock is, you'll know how hard these are to find. Like any salvaged lock, the striker is often left behind, making the lock somewhat useless. Carpenter locks, used in Upper Canada from the early 1830s to 1850s, were hand made with a very particular striker - meaning not just anything will do. Here are some reproduction strikers in lefts and rights, various sizes. $65 each

Thumb Latch Striker
Same problem as above only this piece catches the bar of your thumb latch. 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 - $8 |
Thumb Latch Staple
This piece holds the bar on the door near the edge and is often broken. 2 1/2 x 3/4 - $8 |
