This listing is for an antique Public School City of New York lockset. These have been refurbished and are ready to install on standard residential antique or modern doors. The original hardware that came with these knobs was not made for residential construction, so I refurbished them so they would work with standard doors. Although the backplates and other hardware is not original to the knobs, it is antique brass hardware that is from the same era and similar to the original style.
These have been professionally refurbished, and everything is in excellent working order
. The locks were taken apart, and all the moving parts were oiled, so these work really smoothly. The knobs measure around 2-1/2 inches x 1-3/4 inches. The backplates measure around 7 inches x 2-1/4 inches. The mortise can be opened and the latch rotated so that they will work for right or left hand doors. If you want me to rotate it, just let me know if you have a right or left hand door. Also the mortises in the pictures have a 2-3/8" backset (distance from the edge of the mortise faceplate to the center opening where the spindle goes through, google "door backset" it if you want a diagram). Some antique doors have different backsets. The mortise has a faceplate that measures 5-1/4" x 7/8". The depth of the mortise into the door is 3-1/4". And the height of the part of the mortise set in the door is 3-5/8". Let me know before your purchase if you need a specific backset or any other specific dimensions, and I'll do my best to accommodate you. I have many of these available, so the picture may not show the exact set you will receive, but it will be similar with only minor differences in wear and patina. Let me know if you prefer the patina be brighter or darker. Please see all the pictures for details and contact me with questions. Thanks! Shipping cost is for the first lockset, and per pair after that.
Shipped with the greatest of care.
