Caywood locks??
« on: January 07, 2019, 04:14:35 AM »
Does anyone have any recent experience with Caywood locks?  Don't see much about them.

The older ones made by Mike Rowe were excellent.  I can't speak for their quality now.  I heard he is not making the locks for Caywood any longer.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Just talked to Mike about 10 days ago.  He is fully retired and not making anything except what he wants to play with.

I have several Caywood locks. In my opinion they are the fastest locks out there. The ones I own are smooth an are excellent sparkers. To me the only drawback to a Caywood lock is one day parts could bet hard to find. I would suggest to anyone that if you have or buy a Caywood lock get you an extra main an maybe frizzen spring an have on hand as a just in case

Mine are top notch, but I like the idea of an extra spring or two.
