William Tonks Door Safety Chain

A brass door safety chain by William Tonks of Birmingham. Original patination. Rare and of an ingenious design with the deadbolt and safety chain attachment using the same external keep. The bolt has cross shaped riveted spring steel to hold it in place tightly and prevent it being easily  moved by intruders. The chain itself is locked in place using a push spring  button which has to be pressed in from the inside before it will release the chain. The spring release  button prevents the door being partly opened and the chain being slid along the slide and releasing the chain. Additional photographs and information available on request. FaceTime facility available. Please be aware that the item is old and antique and study any photographs to satisfy yourself as to its condition as much as possible.
