On the Fulda is found an old lock from the 17th century.

The entire apartment was empty except for a chair and his old lock sitting on the floor.

The old lock simply could have rusted up or broken.

I had no keys of any kind, for locks old or new.

Owners of the old locks can call 800-726-6444 to get new ones, the foundation said.

The old lock is still present, but is no longer used.

The old lock have been put to the bottom.

These are probably the oldest working locks in the country.

The old lock had given way, and the door was swinging wide open.

That had to be it; the old lock hadn't been replaced, at least not for decades.
