TTD 
PROTECTION fo r you and yours 
T HE home is sacred to you and your 
loved ones, your treasures, the quiet of 
your hearth. Across its threshold must 
come only those whom you invite. It must 
be secure against prowlers and unwelcome 
interruptions. But how? 
By using Sargent Cylinder Locks on all 
exterior doors! These sturdy locks give un¬ 
failing and unquestioned protection. Their 
mechanism has resulted from years of 
engineering study and experiment. They 
are as perfect in operation as it is humanly 
possible to make them. And they will last 
in constant service as long as the home 
itself. You cannot afford to compromise 
on the locks between you and the world 
outside! Be sure! Use the Sargent 
Cylinder Lock! 
Connecting with the Sargent Cylinder 
Lock, you may use a knob and escutcheon 
or a door handle to match the Sargent 
Hardware within your home—the same fine 
design, the same solid, time-resisting brass 
or bronze. Select Sargent Hardware with 
your architect. Send for the Sargent Book 
of Designs.
