older type of lock
... en såkaldt ´besætningslås´
... indeholder en anordning, som kræver, at nøglekammen deles for at kunne gribe om denne.
Den kaldes en Københavnerlås ... bruges kun indvendigt, da alle låse kan åbnes med én hovednøgle.
This time I am really out of my depth!
Unfortunately I can't find any picture or detail, and it is only a short passage in a discussion of houses and furniture.
Possibly 18th or 19th century, certainly not modern!
Thanks again for any help!
