Some history:'
James Carpenter In 1830, jointly with John Young took out patent no, 5880, an improved design of latch bolt and lock. The two agreed to divide the patent into rim lock use and mortice lock use, James Carpenter going on to construct rim locks while John Young had the right to make mortice locks. Carpenter named his rim lock "Number 60". It became known as "Carpenters lift up lock". It was his invention to make the latch perpendicular instead of horizontal.
