Locksmith's House, Lock manufacturing museum in Willenhall, United Kingdom
The Locksmith's House features a house with backyard workshops displaying original tools, machinery, and household items from the early 1900s lock-making industry.
Built in 1840, this Grade II listed building belonged to the Hodson family who established their lock-making business Richard Hodson & Sons in 1792.
The museum demonstrates how lock manufacturing businesses operated alongside family life through preserved furniture, workshops, and authentic production equipment.
Located at 54 New Road in Willenhall WV13 2DA, the museum operates through special ticketed events managed by the Black Country Living Museum.
The front room of the building served as a drapers' shop until 1971, with its unsold inventory now preserved at Walsall Museum.
