>Does anyone have a picture of a "snib?"
According to Wikipedia it is a "wooden toggle used to hold the work on a table."
Perhaps it goes by a different name as well.
Just curious,

>Which we use regularly - you 'snib' the door lock and prevent it from being opened from the inside without 'unsnibbing' it.
