It must be mounted lengthwise on the right-hand side of the lock elevation and has a vertical fixing bolt and a cam at the bottom for this. The hammer is pulled down with a chain that runs forward through an eye, while a cam on the left side of the lock pushes it to the left, once below the hammer is pushed to the right by a spring on the other side of the house, this is to prevent the hammer from being hit back violently by the flame from the sun hole when fired
