A classic hand crafted brass rim lock desigend to be used with your existing door knobs for a traditional look to your door. Our Rim Lock design has a simple, old fashioned elegance that is ideal for interior doors and particularly suits period properties. Hand crafted from solid, natural brass that has been highly polished for a bright, reflective look, these locks have a sturdy, tactile quality that befits their handmade nature and should last for years.
Because rim locks are housed in a surface mounted box that is secured to the outside of your door, rather than inside it, they are not as secure as mortice locks and are not recommended on external doors as they can be easily removed. But they are an easy solution if your door is not thick enough to fit an internal locking system or if used on internal doors or outbuildings where security is less important. They are also a great way to add some period detail to your home. All

Additional Information: Knowledge Base -
Locks and Latches Explained Finish: Polished Brass - A beautiful natural finish that works well with any colourway indoors and outside and looks equally at home in a contemporary setting as a traditional one. The polished brass version creates a classic, bright look that will never date. The brass will darken naturally over time so will need to be buffed regularly with a small amount of brass cleaner to keep it bright and reflective.
