Blacksmith and Historic Jamestowne interpreter Stephen Mankowski describes how he designed and recreated a 400 year old Banbury Lock, whose original parts were found at Jamestown. This includes a visit to the Jamestown Rediscovery “Dry Room” where 400 year old iron artifacts are stored, a discussion of the different parts of a lock, and how the lock mechanism functions. The video also shows Stephen working in his home forge building the lock deadbolt from wrought iron stock.
Finally, he shows the completed replica lock and how it functions.
