Rim Lock Door Knobs

Rim lock door knobs are designed for use with traditional surface-mounted rim locks, where the lock case sits visibly on the face of the door. They are a popular choice for Victorian houses, cottages and period interiors, especially where the original door is better suited to a rim lock than a modern mortice latch.

Unlike standard mortice door knobs, rim lock door knob sets are made to work with the visible lock case. One knob usually sits directly against the rim lock, while the opposite knob fixes to the timber door with a rose plate. This fitting arrangement helps the door knob sit correctly and operate the rim lock smoothly.

Our collection includes traditional rim lock door knobs in a range of finishes and styles, including wooden, brass and cast iron options. They can be paired with keyhole escutcheons and butt hinges to complete a traditional internal door.
