Detector lock with key, John Wilkes (slotenmaker), c. 1675 - c. 1700 Canvas Print

The iron mechanism consists of a bolt to be shifted with a button and a lock, with a lap that can be shifted by a close. it is mounted on an iron deck plate and encased in a yellow copper lock cabinet, on which a doorknob, a mans figure and a number plate are arranged. The actual lock mechanism is also shielded on the inside by two iron cover plates. it consists of a cross and bar line-up, on which the beautifully worked-out shape of the key beard fits and from the two grips at the lap end (so that the key has to be turned over twice to shift the lap completely) and the spring hammer (which holds the lap in a slid position). Above the lap is the latch, which can be moved with the door button, and whose springy effect can be blocked by moving the man's hat on the lock box. The profiled round doorknob is placed on a multi-pointed star. The male wears a sliding hat, holds a pointed stick in front of him and has one movable lower leg. This can be secured to the keyhole with the help of a ratchet. The man's stick has two points that correspond to the two number sequences along the edge of the round number plate decorated with a five-bladed rose. The outer number sequence consists of the odd numbers from 1 to 99, the inner one consists of the even numbers from 2 to 100. If the lap is completely extended by turning the key twice, the number plate jumps when it is reversed twice in such a way that the extreme point of the stick indicates the next number on the inner digit sequence. In this way it is possible to check how many times the lock has been closed. The closing cap to be applied to the door jamb, in which the latch and the lap must be slid, is missing. There are four loose screws at the lock.
