Antique Primitive Iron Sliding Hasp Jailers Gate Padlock Transverse Shank Door Lock
Here is a nice primitive antique, hand wrought iron gate lock. The lock is in nice old condition as you can see in the photos and crafted beautifully. This style of lock is known as a "sliding hasp gate lock" and was a common style for securing doors in the 17th and 18th centuries. The hasp which hinges on the slide bar at the top of the lock can be removed when the bolt within the body of the lock is drawn back by the key. This type of lock would be employed by passing the slide bar through eyelets on a pair of doors or a single door and the jamb.
