They just need to be taken out , opened up , cleaned out and oiled. They'll work fine for another 121 years. I do it in alot of older homes I work on , including my own. If you go out and buy new standard locks for doors you'll be lucky if you get 15 years out of them and not be able to fix them. It takes about 20 minutes to take out and put back.
