some of you in your travels must have seen old locks  like  in one of my 
first houses  the locks were  I think like a 4 inch or maybe 3 inch 
square block. and If I remember correctly there was a little   piece of 
metal stuck up so you could flip it from lock to unlock and that  
actualy  took a skeleton key. then there were the door locks per se  
which was simply a flat piece of metal that  lay in a grove until the 
outer handle was turned.. the later one was on my first house which had 
double doors and at the bottom of one door was   a place where you 
fliped up a metal  piece thus allowing two or both doors to swing wide  
open.  and that door had the old fashioned hand crank or turn knob on 
the outside  which when turned would knock anyone out of bed. Lee
