I installed my old new brass wedge locks today after cleaning up and coating the handles. I can honestly say I agree wholeheartedly with every other post I've read where someone says they don't know why SS ever changed from brass (for the two piece design). They lock positively and securely, and release with less than half a turn. Thanks for the discussion and thanks again for the heads up that these were available on the FB group.
