Experience a perfect blend of vintage charm and reliable function with our range of Rim Latches. These surface-mounted locking mechanisms are ideal for interior doors—such as bedrooms and bathrooms—adding a touch of classic elegance to any space. Designed for doors that open inwards, Rim Latches include both a door knob-operated latch and a smaller snib- or key-controlled deadbolt, making them practical as well as stylish.
Unlike embedded mortise locks, Rim Latches are fitted directly onto the surface of the door, preserving the door's structural integrity and offering a simpler installation process. These historic locking systems are among the oldest still in use today, often featured in period properties due to their antique aesthetic. Rim Latches are especially popular for restoring heritage homes or achieving a traditional décor style.
Available in a variety of elegant finishes—brass, black, and iron—our collection of Rim Latches pairs beautifully with traditional and rustic door designs. Please note, a specific type of door knob known as a "rim knob" is required for installation and is supplied separately to ensure the perfect match.
