Antique Hand-Forged Cylindrical Barrel Padlock with Screw Key

This antique hand-forged cylindrical barrel padlock features a heavy iron body with an attached arched shackle and a distinctive screw-key mechanism. The rugged construction and simple mechanical design give it the character of an early handmade lock.

Unlike a conventional key that simply turns inside a keyway, the screw-style key threads directly into the barrel mechanism to operate the lock, engaging the internal mechanism to release or secure the shackle. This type of construction is documented among historical European and Middle Eastern padlocks, making screw-key locks particularly interesting to collectors of early mechanical hardware.

Measuring approximately 2 inches high including the shackle by 3.25 inches wide, this substantial lock has a rustic, hand-forged appearance that makes it an unusual addition to an antique lock collection.

Perfect for: antique padlock collectors, historical hardware enthusiasts, mechanical lock collectors, and collectors of handmade ironwork.
