Beneard lock and key
One of the very first locks to combine all functions: open and close from inside and outside with the key operating the forked dead bolt, lock with the latch bolt by slamming the door, and lock further with the top knob or "night bolt" that a jealous husband's key cannot open from the outside.
France, 17th/18th century
Lock: 12 x 20 cm - key: 16, 1 cm
Part of the "From the Enlightenment to the Republics" chapter
