Schlage Vintage Victorian Lockset, Bronze, Rare, Locksmith Gear
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:6861268 | Brand: Schlage |
Here is Schlage Vintage Victorian Lockset, mounted on a vintage oak stand. It’s a rare collector item from the original San Francisco Schlage factory opened in 1920 by Walter Schlage who invented and patented the cylindrical lock around 1912. The trim roses and knobs are heavy cast bronze, the chassis is steel. This is a ANSI grade 1 D53PD lock. Schlage still makes the D series lock, it’s now made out of the US. List price is over $500 but can be found from online sellers for aroun...d $375. ANSI grade 1 is the heaviest duty grade, mostly used on schools and hospitals. I’ve sold and installed hundreds of the modern version of the D53PD over the last 40 years in the hardware biz, now it’s time for retirement and I’m selling. This lockset is the rarest and best in my collection. Thanks for looking, ask any questionsInternational buyers must pay for the shipping.
