Styles for Every Period Property
Discover Classic, Reversible, and Decorative Rim Latches
Our selection includes traditional rim latches, Victorian-style rim latches, and cast iron surface-mounted latches that suit both internal cottage doors and high-end restoration projects. Available in black japanned, iron, and polished brass finishes, each latch provides a timeless look while pairing seamlessly with our range of door furniture and architectural ironmongery. Whether you're matching original hardware or creating a period-style interior, these latches are ideal for wooden doors, barn conversions, and listed buildings.
Latch Compatibility & Accessories
Pair Your Rim Latch with Matching Ironmongery
Rim latches require dedicated rim knobs — they aren’t compatible with mortice knobs due to the spindle and backplate design. These latches can be fitted to both 20–22mm ledged and braced doors and standard 35mm thick internal doors, making them ideal for both rustic and modern applications.
If you're installing in a bathroom or bedroom, consider a rim latch with privacy turn or snib, offering a simple one-sided locking mechanism. For a complete and coordinated look, explore our premium accessories and match your setup with traditional window furniture and period door furniture in complementary finishes like brass, black japanned or cast iron.
Frequently Asked Questions
Expert Guidance on Rim Latches
Can I use rim latches in modern homes?
Can I use rim latches in modern homes?
Yes, especially if you're creating a rustic or period-style theme. They work perfectly on standard internal doors.
What’s the backset on a rim latch?
What’s the backset on a rim latch?
Backsets vary between models. Always measure the distance from the door edge to the spindle hole on your existing latch before purchasing.
Do rim latches come with fixings?
Do rim latches come with fixings?
Most come with screws, but you may need to source a matching rim knob separately for a proper fit.
Are these locks secure?
Are these locks secure?
Rim latches are designed for internal use only and provide basic privacy using a snib or thumbturn. They are not suitable for front doors or high-security areas, as they do not accept a key. If you're fitting a lock to an external door, consider a rim lock and always add a 5 lever deadlock to meet UK insurance standards.
