From The Anvil Rim Lock with Cast Iron Cover - Reversible - Polished Brass

The rim lock with cast iron cover is a reversible surface-mounted lock, fitted to the face of the door rather than morticed in, with a matching keep on the frame. The cast iron cover gives a traditional look on cottage, ledged and period doors, and the lock can be used on either side of the door.

It contains a 1 lever rim lock which is not insurance rated, so on external doors it should be used together with a British Standard deadlock to meet insurance requirements. All the rim locks are keyed alike. The lock fixes at 123mm centres with the matching stainless steel wood screws supplied.

• Reversible for left or right-hand doors

About the Polished Brass finish

Polished Brass is a simplistic, classic finish most synonymous with use in traditional period properties and interiors, yet works well paired with light colours and subtle textural details to achieve a luxurious, more modern aesthetic. The Polished Brass products are manufactured from solid, unlacquered brass. Bright and reflective when polished, although as an unlacquered, 'living' finish it will continue to oxidise, meaning it will darken over time. If the product becomes too dark or tarnished, it can be polished to restore the brighter finish.

Care and maintenance

This finish will continue to oxidise and age as it is an unlacquered finish, meaning it will darken over time. If the product becomes tarnished or too dark, it can be restored to brighten the finish. We recommend polishing with a dry cloth or alternatively using the ‘Brasso’ (73102), which assists with the cleaning of solid brass products. An oily cloth can be used to wipe over the finish from time to time to remove any harmful deposits that build up on the surface of your product, this will also aid protection against any environmental elements. To increase the mechanical life expectancy of your products, we recommend regular oiling of all moving parts using the ‘3-in-1 Oil’ (92337). This process is also highly recommended during initial installation.
