Yes, it has a brass bezel on the outside of the door with vacant/engaged on an enamel sign

No, it's threaded and screws into the sliding bar

Thanks for the advice everyone. I should have made my original post a bit clearer - I need someone to make them for me (I don't have a lathe and have never studies metalwork - I'm a carpenter)

So, any volunteers out there?

Cheers,

Ian.

Hi all,

I need to make copies of a small brass knob (approx, 30 x 18)

This is for an antique Ashwells toilet lock

Any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ian.

It is the bit sticking out to operate the sliding bar and yes, it is threaded into the bar behind.

I have just checked and they all have different threads (drat). I think they have been modified over the years when someone has removed (stolen) the original knobs. I'll see if I can get accurate measurements on them and let you have that. I would probably need 4-6.

Do you have an email address so I can get back to you and send photos? And whereabouts are you?

I am in Brentford, west of London.

Many thanks,

Ian.

I think I have sorted out the picture of what is needed.....

Hi,

I am new here so please bear with me.

I am restoring some old toilet locks and need to get some small brass knobs made for them. The design isn't too important as they all varied in their day.

I will try and attach a picture showing the kind if thing I am after.

Anyway, my question is.......can anyone help me to get these made?

Hoping so.

Best regards,

Ian.

PS. I can't seem to include a picture. The knobs are about 3/4" long x 1/2" wide. My email is [email protected] for a picture
