Recently I was working on a woodworking project for Swamp Yankee Designs that required Hidden Locking Mechanisms. Here are a few of the Hidden Locking Mechanisms woodworking project resources I found:
| Half-Mortise Jewelry Box Locks | |
| No visible hardware from outside the box. Just turn the key to activate these smooth, positive action locks. Brass with steel locking mechanism. |
 |
| Half Mortise Heavy Duty Chest Lock | |
| Strong, brass lock with two hooks. |
 |
| Making Working Wooden Locks, Book | |
| Here are five fabulous projects for adventurous woodworkers! Former locksmith and woodworking extraordinaire Tim Detweiler guides you through four keyed locks, each with its own distinctive mechanism, as well a 3-number combination lock. Each lock is fully functional and is constructed entirely of wooden parts: keys, tumblers, pins, hinges, shackles…everything. They can all be constructed with basic woodworking tools. Each project is accompanied by measured drawings, full-color photos and expert step-by-step instruction. A project gallery at the end will serve as inspiration for your own designs. 96 pages. |
