Hi
I'm trying to source a lock like the attached photos. These are used on organ cases, particularly (but not only) where there are two hinged or sliding doors that lock together in the middle. As you can see, one part of the lock has protruding claws which are retained in holes by the lock mechanism. Whilst one of these pictures is Victorian, the other two are both from an instrument built in the 1980s, so they were certainly still made then.
I can see that large (i.e. door-sized) 'claw locks' are available, but these are smaller - I'm drawing a blank with 'cabinet claw lock', but perhaps that's not quite the right term? Also the large ones have the claws moving, whereas on these the claws stay fixed and the movement is all inside the holes (although I think that's not critical for my application).
All pointers gratefully received! Many thanks.
