We got a few recommendations for epoxy for our lock and J-B Weld topped everyone's list.
We
took pictures of the inside of the lock before Rob took it apart. The
first attempt at gluing failed because there was nothing holding the two
pieces together besides the epoxy. Rob set an x-acto knife blade
inside the lock and glued the two pieces to that. Big improvement, but
still not super secure.
After
scavenging around in the basement he found another thin piece of metal
that he wrapped around the outside of the mortise and cold welded in
place.
