I think Safeways has gone, we have found it easier to go to reclaim yards for old locks or carboots.
If not you can get most locks in retro style.

Except it says

Orders are subject to a minimum charge of £15 plus carriage, packing & VAT. Minimum order per item £2.50.

I'll have a look in my bits & bobs box(es). No promises but you never know what is in that Steptoe cave.

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness
