Spotlight on New Rim Locks

Looking to add traditional character to your home? Discover our latest collection of antique-style rim locks, inspired by Victorian originals and available in a variety of sizes, finishes and styles.

Our newest rim locks are available in solid brass and cast iron, making them suitable for both period properties and homes with traditional-inspired interiors.

Rim locks are one of the oldest styles of door lock. Also known as box locks or Victorian locks, they are surface-mounted rather than mortice fitted, making them ideal for doors that cannot accommodate a mortice lock or for anyone wanting to add period detailing.

There are two main types of rim lock. Traditional keyed rim locks can be locked from both sides using a key, while bathroom rim locks use a locking snib to provide privacy from the inside.

Brass Rim Locks

Manufactured from solid brass with a polished finish, these rim locks are available in large, small and bathroom versions, with left- and right-handed options where required.

Complete your installation with one of our matching rim lock door knob sets, including solid brass and traditional rosewood beehive door knobs. Each keyed rim lock is supplied with a matching escutcheon.

Iron Rim Locks

Cast iron rim locks are well suited to rustic interiors, cottages and industrial-inspired homes. The textured castings and dark grey finish provide an authentic appearance, while a protective lacquer helps resist surface rust during normal indoor use.

Please note that these rim locks are designed for internal doors and are not suitable for external use.

Available in large, small and bathroom versions, these locks are handed, so it's important to select the correct version for your door. Dimensions and handing information are included on each product page, and our team is always happy to help if you need advice.

These decorative locks are suitable for both period properties and homes looking to introduce traditional detailing.

Unlike many standard rim locks, the ornate range uses a universal handing design, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed doors. Matching door knob sets are available with brass, cast iron and wooden door knobs, together with coordinating escutcheons.
