Barrows 341 Cylinder Mortise Lock Box

Mortise lock box made by Barrows Lock Works. Oversized for exterior doors with a cylinder lock on one side and a brass thumb latch for the interior. It also features the push button latch lock on the face. The box measures 5″h x 3 1/2″w x 3/4″d. The center of the cylinder lock is at 1″ down, the latch is at 2 1/2″ and the doorknob hole center is at 4″ from the top of the box.  Backset is 2 1/2″ for all 3 features.

The inside of the box is marked 341. The early Barrows logo is marked on the outside of the box on one side.  The face is made of brass and measures 7″h x 1 1/4″w. The thumb latch has a small plate that measures 1 1/2″h x 3/4″w.

This lock box appears to be reversible, but switching the latch will require moving a few pieces, so it may be tricky. The logo corresponds with pieces in the 1920 catalogue, but this particular setup is not pictured in that catalogue. The catalogue page shown in this listing is from a later catalogue, but shows the proper setup.

We clean, oil and test all of our lock boxes to make sure that they are fully functional. If needed, we may be able to match a skeleton key. We also may be able to match a strike plate if needed. Please let us know if you need any additional parts. It is best if we can match parts up while we have it in hand so that we can make sure everything works together properly.
