First of all, I think you have a Norwich design from the Lockwood 1914 catalog downloadable here, but this is not my strong suit please double check that escutcheon and knob. Second of all, you can try the KY-30 skeleton key via Amazon, it should work and be big enough to fit well, if it really is a Lockwood lock. Third of all, are you missing a front for that lock? You need a front to make that work okay. Hope this helps, good luck!
Any brick-and-mortar locksmith will cut you a bit key, but bring the lock in it'll be much cheaper. Cutting keys is very DIY-able and I recommend it. But if you try a skeleton key, the guys over at r/Locksmith recommend the KY-30 via Amazon. It has a bigger post size, so it'll fit more snuggly than the ones you buy at Ace. Trust your locks! Good luck!
If you have to do a skeleton key, the guys over at r/Locksmith recommend the KY-30 via Amazon. Odds are, it will open and close some of your locks. But to do it right, you have to cut a key. Either DIY of via a locksmith, once you use a properly-fitted hand-filed bit key, you'll give up on all those pin-tumbler locks they make these days. Good luck!
Any brick-and-mortar locksmith will cut a key for you. Cutting mortise lock keys is also very DIY-able. But the guys over at r/Locksmith recommend this one: the KY-30 from Amazon. Good luck, and enjoy the new house!
Truthfully, you have to pull the lock out of the door and crack it open. Even if you can identify the maker from the hardware, the main interior mortise locks come with either one or three levers. Maybe you have one lever locks with a side ward, that could cause what you described ... but that is just one possible scenario. Locksmiths or DIY is the best. Good luck! P.S. Locksmiths recommend the KY-30 one from Amazon - it has the biggest post size. But it's still only for one-lever locks. Again, gl!
