The History of Locks Museum

In addition to keeping the fascinating Chubb story alive we also document and keep the global catalogue on locks and locksmithing. Known as The History of Locks its in a traditional format, and currently this research runs to 5 volumes and is expected to reach around 12 volumes. We are therefore keen to learn about and record details of your item(s) either by email or if you live in the UK we could even visit you on one of our trips.
