I bought several sets of the hinges and locks for some Norse style chests I was making. All I can say is this craftsman is excellent, the hinges work really well and are in keeping with my project. The lock and key is to the same superb standard, work well and really finish a sea chest off perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchases, fast delivery and well packaged. Excellent value for money considering the work that must go into these items.

Had to drill my own nail holes for mounting. Including mounting nails would have been a nice touch. Surface shows some small flaking. All in all, good piece. I would definitely shop here again. 👍
