Mortise Lock for Drawer

[Redmoss]

Hi, I'm in the process of refurbishing an old dressing table. The drawer has a crude and simple full-mortise lock, the key to which has long since been lost. I am trying to find a replacement and have had no luck at all!! Can any of you guy give me any ideas?

Here is a pic of the original lock (it has absolutely no identification marks).

Looks like a nice old lock...

Just a thought - find a decent, proper locksmith and see if they can make a key for you - the mechanism won't be overly complex, a simple key should be easy enough for someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks Nigel, I'll look into that.
