Why Choose this Rim Lock ?
The Brass Rim Lock combines traditional craftsmanship with dependable performance. Not only does it provide secure operation, but it also adds authentic period character to your doors. Furthermore, its classic proportions and quality construction make it suitable for both restoration projects and new homes inspired by Victorian design.
Choosing the Correct Handing
Selecting the correct handing is straightforward. When the door opens towards you and the hinges are on the left, you need a left-handed lock. Conversely, if the hinges are on the right, you need a right-handed lock. Choosing the correct version ensures smooth operation and an easy installation.
Unlacquered Solid Brass Finish
This rim lock is crafted from solid unlacquered brass, allowing the finish to age naturally and develop a beautiful patina over time. However, if you prefer a brighter appearance, you can polish the brass occasionally to restore its original shine.
