Rim lock/Box lock restoration complete

[Stone]

Went out to the old house I've been detecting and got the rest of the lock and knob hardware today. Everything was covered in rust and the lock was seized, I took it apart and cleaned every part of it the best I could. I just got done with the cleaning and finally have a complete set that looks nice. I can't find any information on the manufacturer which is making it very difficult to find a key for it.

Great job! It looks really nice. You might want to put a little clear coat to stop surface rust if you keep it natural.

Would rubbing some olive oil on it work?

I would give the inside a good coating of 3 and 1 Oil and a clear Wax on the outside , just incase You decide to paint it at a later date ? Again Nice Job ...
