Large heavy duty cast bronze entry lock set made by Yale designed for a large entry door.
Set consists of two full size door plates topped with detailed eagles. Mortise lock, door plates
and key are marked Yale. Pair of jumbo size door knobs, not marked but also made by Yale
and are original to set and fit perfectly into knob sockets once installed. One door plate
contains a cylinder lock and comes with its original key. There are two push buttons on face
of mortise lock, this feature is what locks the door by keeping the outside knob from turning,
other button unlocks. Even with door is in locked position the door can always be opened
from the inside only. This locking method was state of the art for its time period using a
tricky split/lock assembly that appears to have had little use. This set operates perfectly and
in in excellent condition with original finish.
