This antique rim or box lock is from the late 1800s and is in as found condition with surface rust and worn black paint on the exterior. The inside is another matter. Ive taken the lock apart and cleaned each piece and even coated the interior of the casing with a rust inhibitor to protect it. Use as is for a rustic look, oil the outside to darken and clean the rust showing, repaint the entire lock black or even the color of your door

This lock operates perfectly. For security there is a finger latch on top that keeps the knobs from rotating. This secures the door from the lock side. The deadbolt can be thrown from either side of the door. The lock is reversible for a right or left hand door depending on which side you mount to the door. The strike is reversed by just opening the case and flipping it over. You may order a skeleton key (or keys) by going to
