Rim Lock Sets
Rim locks, or box locks, are installed on the surface of the door and can be seen from one side of the door. They were one of the earliest lock designs by American manufacturers from about 1830. Even older locks were imported from Europe and England. There are a few of the very old rim locks here but most are from after 1865 when manufacturers introduced a reversible lock. Prior to that date the locks were restricted to left or right hand doors. These are by far the easiest locks to install! See Helpful Information on how to install a rim lock. Note: There are also small rim locks shown here that are used for screen doors, cabinets and small access doors. You might also want to look at Cabinet Latches as well.

Although these large rim (or box) locks with bronze knobs & trim were made for entry doors they are equally at home on an interior door. The simple doorknob and rosette for the off side of the door provide an elegant charm and the keyhole cover with its swinging cover is especially appealing.... |

An ornate rim lock set with matching doorknobs and trim is very rare. All parts were made by Branford Lock Works around 1880 and are covered with Eastlake detail. The doorknobs have incising on both the front and back and the design reminds me of a snowflake! When I received this set the lock was... |

This turn of the century (1800-1900) rim or box lock has just enough detail to make it interesting. The perimeter grid work around a free form design is quite unique. The free form design would only show on a right hand door but even with just the line details it is still quite handsome. The lock... |

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. I’ve taken the lock apart and cleaned each piece and even coated the interior of the casing with a rust inhibitor to protect it.... |

This rim lock is from the mid to late 1800’s and has been completely restored. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to painting and one side of the lock didn’t come out as well as I like. Additionally it has gotten a little chip to the paint at the top edge of the lock during storage. It’s really... |

This hefty surface mount lock, being solid bronze (or brass?), was typically used for exterior doors although it would be lovely anywhere in the home. It is marked Russwin on the back and the end of the deadbolt is incised Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co. It was likely manufactured in the early 1900’s.... |

If you are looking for an unusual conversation piece or trying to find a rim lock to suit early colonial architecture, this set is for you! While the dainty detailing on the lock makes an elegant statement, the other side of the door is really unusual! Rather than a standard round or oval knob... |

This lock is quite unusual in several respects. It is solid brass which would indicate that it was originally intended for an entry (exterior) or marine (a yacht perhaps?) use. It also has a very unique method of attaching the doorknobs without the use of set screws – very classy! As you can see... |
