Abstract:
L Product and its uses
(i) Drawer Locks and Suit-case Locks are
similar in construction and shape to some
extent. Drawer Locks are used for locking
drawers of tables. This lock is fitted inside the
drawer and is not easily approachable from
outside. On turning the key a locking head
emerges out and fits in the cavity provided in
the top or wall of the table or almirah.
Previously these locks were only made from
brass but now brass and mild steel locks are
available. There is slight difference in construction
of body but other components and operation
are same. These are available in 30, 40,
50, 60 and 65 mm sizes.
(ii) Suitcase Locks-These are made in two
pieces i.e. body and locking latch. Locking
latch when pressed on the body is held thereby
a lever which is spring loaded. This lever can
be locked or unlocked by operating the key.
The latch has also a slit which fits on the loop,
fitted on body so that a separate lock can also
be fitted for additional safety if required.
