Brass Rim Locks

Brass rim locks offer a classic and decorative locking solution, traditionally used on timber doors in period and character properties. Mounted on the surface of the door rather than recessed into it, a rim lock provides both a latch and key-operated bolt within a single lock case. The warm tones of brass give these locks a timeless appearance, making them a popular choice for traditional interiors where authentic door hardware is desired. We offer a variety of brass finishes for our rim locks including antique brass, satin brass, polished brass and brass combined with other colours such as black.

A brass rim door lock is typically operated by a key from one side of the door and a knob or turn mechanism from the other, allowing for convenient everyday use while maintaining dependable security. These locks are commonly used on internal doors such as bedrooms, studies and living rooms, where they provide both functionality and decorative appeal. The visible lock case also adds to the character of the door, complementing other brass door furniture.

Ideal for period homes and restoration projects, brass rim locks for doors combine traditional styling with reliable performance. Manufactured from durable materials and designed for straightforward installation, they offer a practical replacement for older locks or a decorative upgrade for new doors. With their distinctive design and timeless finish, brass rim locks remain a popular choice for classic interior door hardware.
