Brick + Beam Detroit

We used a Baldwin lock set.
Our carpenter scarfed in oak material and then drilled for the new lock.

Thanks jcraig, I was hoping to keep the character of the Mortise set, but I will keep that in mind as a last resort.

I can text you photos of ours.
It's essentially the same, just more robust than what was in the door.
It still has the two buttons in the mortise for the lock/ unlock.
If you want more pics/ info feel free to send over your #.

Yes I would love to see pictures Thanks so would you mind emailing those to [email protected]

You can search #1913foursquare on instagram to see ours.

Todd are you looking for places to find a replacement or a how-to for installing one? If the former, I would recommend checking out Detroit Antique Mall at 828 Fisher Fwy (basically the75 service drive opposite MGM). They have tons of locks, doorknobs, etc. and I just found a glass knob for our tricky entry door there yesterday.

If you're looking for a how-to guide for installing, I don't know of one, but could be a good resource for Brick + Beam to develop!

Also, Jimmy at Fred's Key Shop did a great job installing old locks/knobs/etc. on our doors (1927 house).

Thanks Emily I really appreciate your help, and I concur I would love a workshop on dealing with doors and locks for old houses.

I recommend checking out Materials Unlimited in Ypsilanti, they have a large amount of mortise locks that might work for you. We were just there this past weekend for the same reason
