Rim Locks: these are a low security lock that screw to the outer surface of the door (as opposed to a mortice lock, which is 'morticed' inside the door). Rim locks require the use of mortice knobs with a threaded spindle (the knob screws onto a 'threaded' spindle and is secured by grub screws). This is because you are relying on the knob being held in place against the Rim lock surface (you can't attach a knob on a backplate to the surface of a Rim Lock with screws). You will also require an Escutcheon to cover up the hole for the key on the other side of the door.

Depending on the item, their Matt Black finish can be either powder coated or treated with an ageing process. However it is achieved, their Matt Black finish is both durable and stunning.

Caution: Be sure not scratch or chip, or this will reveal the brass.

TradCo hardware is manufactured from solid brass, a material commonly used in architectural hardware. Brass does not rust, however it can change in appearance over time when exposed to outdoor environments, depending on the finish. Many TradCo finishes include a lacquered, electroplated or powder-coated protective layer designed to slow this natural ageing process. The rate and nature of this change vary depending on the finish type, level of exposure and environmental conditions.
