1890s Branford Mortise Lock Restoration | Random Restoration

Welcome! In today's video I'll be restoring an 1890s entry mortise lock set which was manufactured by Branford Lock Works. Branford called this the "Oriental" design in their catalogs. This antique cast iron and bronze lockset was not very rusty but quite crusty and in need of a refurbishment. Though there wasn't the usual 20 layers of paint on this set, Branford seemingly used japanning in the recessed areas of their ornamental hardware, making it very difficult to paint strip. The first thing I did with this restoration is disassembling the lock, including grinding the solid rivets holding the faceplate off. Then I went ahead and straightened the faceplate, reattached the faceplate and made a couple keys. Once the keys were made I moved on to paint stripping. I gently scuffed up the japanned iron lock case and applied some rather questionable looking paint stripper. After paint stripping I tossed all the steel and iron parts in the rust remover overnight to get rid of any unwanted rust, and to loosen up any stubborn paint that may have been missed in the paint stripping process. Next up I wire wheeled the lock case and small parts. After these were all cleaned up I went ahead and painted the lock case, cold blued the small parts and polished/cleaned/lacquered the switch, latch bolt and deadbolt. Finally I sanded the now straightened lock faceplate up to 1,000 grit. Then it was time for a quick polish and lacquering. A week later I went ahead and sprayed multiple thin coats of semi gloss black paint over the faceplate and removed the excess paint from the raised areas with a lint free paper towel and paint thinner. Now I reassembled the entire lock and lubricated it with a lock lubricant which doesn't attract dust and will add to the rust protection. Finally I went ahead and wire wheeled all the knobs, backplates and strike, sanded them all through 1,000 grit, polished them, lacquered them and painted the recessed areas of them. Afterwards I installed the whole set into a display which I made off camera. I do plan on installing this set at some point and restored three matching hinges off camera, but in the meantime it'll stay installed in the fully functional display. I ended up restoring and recording several other projects alongside this one which I'll get around to editing eventually haha.
