Obviously a major industry in that area

There were several towns that became lock making centers. Darlaston comes to mind. They shared a common history of iron mining and basically ring Birmingham. Many of the lock making families started off as nail makers. I am sure if one digs deep enough, you will that they kept up the lock making trade for generations.
