Studebaker Ignition & 2 Door Lock Set, NOS, 1950's, Set S4

Description

Vintage Studebaker ignition & 2 door lock set. All three locks take the same key.
Studebaker used locks from more than one lock manufacturer. This set of locks was manufactured by Yale and will likely cover a range of years of models from the late 1940's through the 1950's and early 1960's.
Because locks were made by different manufacturers, there are appearance differences in the locks housings. Therefore, it's best for us to provide the functionality and measurements and let you determine if the locks meet the application required for your vehicle.
On this set of door locks, the distance from the lip of the face cap to the edge of the lock shaft is 4 - 1/16". The lock shafts themselves are 2 - 7/8" long. A 360 degree turn of the key drives the lock shaft 180 degrees.
The door locks also have a "stop" at 360 degrees, meaning that a 360 degrees clockwise turn must be followed by a 360 degree counter-clockwise turn. Also, as mentioned above, each 360 degree turn drives the lock shaft 180 degrees. The "stop" prevents turning the key in the wrong direction which could potentially damage the locking mechanism inside the door. It's a very nice feature.
Please contact us with any questions you may have to help determine whether these locks are correct for your vehicle.
Includes 2 original aluminum Yale keys, each marked with the key code.
These locks work smoothly and look like they were manufactured yesterday instead of over 60 years ago.
Brand new, never installed. When only New Old Stock will do! A beautiful addition to your classic Studebaker.
