Info	The swivel lock was a type of sash fastener produced from 1887 to 1911. It was designed with a two-part casing and a swinging arm attached to the part of the casing attached to the lower sash. A tab on the end of the swinging arm operated a rotating lock that was hidden from view inside the casing. Throughout its period of production, hardware catalogs offered both plain and decorated versions of the swivel lock. Illustration of the swivel lock in the Orr & Lockett catalog of 1887, page 501.
