Small Traditional Rim Lock in Iron or Brass

Add authentic period character to an internal door with this small traditional rim lock, available in a choice of solid iron or solid brass and with left or right-handed configurations to suit your door.

Unlike a mortice lock, which is recessed into the edge of a door, a rim lock is mounted directly onto the face of the door, leaving its traditional mechanism visible as part of the door furniture. This makes it particularly appropriate when restoring Victorian, Georgian and other period interiors, as well as for traditional timber doors where an exposed lock forms part of the overall design.

Choose between Iron for a dark, understated traditional appearance or Brass for a warmer period finish. Both versions have the substantial construction and simple detailing characteristic of traditional rim locks and can be coordinated with suitable rim knobs, escutcheons and other period door furniture.

The lock is also available left or right handed. For an inward-opening door, select a left-handed lock when the hinges are on the left, or a right-handed lock when the hinges are on the right, when viewed from the side of the door on which the rim lock will be fitted. Check your door configuration carefully before ordering.

Measuring 140mm × 86mm, this is the smaller version of the traditional rim lock and is particularly suitable where a compact lock case is required. Each lock is supplied with its corresponding surface-mounted keep and matching fixings for installation.

Pair with traditional rim lock door knobs and a matching escutcheon to create a coordinated period door furniture set.
