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.

A smaller medieval padlock based on authentic archaeological finds from Gotland (Sweden) and Aarhus (Denmark). This spring arm lock style has evidential use from the 10th century right through to the 19th century — over 900 years of continuous use. That's a design that works.
Perfect for keeping your sharps and valuables secure at reenactment events, or for locking a period-appropriate chest.

very beautiful reproduction of the Gotland padlock, however the clasp moves a lot in the closed position, I don't know if this is normal. this does not prevent operation. Careful packaging and fast delivery. Thank you so much !
