Buy Rim Locks Online At Best Price! | McCoy Mart

One of the oldest types of locking systems used by people of the United Kingdom and Ireland is rim lock. It is a type of latch where the fastening device directly attaches to the surface of a door when the door is insufficiently thick in size. When the door is extremely thick, then a brim of bolts serve as the best option to fix on the door for security. This type of latch is not suitable to use at the entrance door, but people use it at the interior side of the doors. Thus, it is known as a surface-mounted bolt that contains both a latch and a pin.

They are easy to fix on the surface of the doors and thus, buy these latches to protect your valuables from thieves. Most of them are constructed using cast iron. Some of the other metals used to manufacture them are iron, brass, nickel. An electric edge bolt is also there to enhance your security. Yale is one such reputed brand available in the market.

How does it Work?

The bolt mechanism uses a surface-mounted installation in which either a sliding latch or a deadlock acts as the crucial component for its fastening mechanisms. The sliding latch present works on how you apply the pressure and loading of the spring. When you apply the pressure, the latch withdraws and when you remove the pressure, the latch extends. If the edge latch bolt comes with a sliding latch, then the fastening and unfastening process is done with the help of handles and knobs. But the deadbolt works in conjunction with a key and thus using the key you can shut and unfasten it. Another attractive feature of the verge latch is that one can operate the bolt from both ends of the door.

This is because it fits on the interior side of the door but you can operate it at both the interior and exterior sides of the door. To secure this latch, a sliding latch is used but the combination of both a deadbolt and a sliding latch is used on sash latches.

Working Principle

The working principle is not much difficult to understand. There will be a simple bolt that gets extended from the door’s side to secure it. Now the bolt will pass through the fixed notch on the door’s frame which means the fastening of the door. You can use the key to open the door. Most of them have rim cylinder lock mechanisms. When you turn the key, it rotates the cylinder that is connected to the metal known as the cam. Then the cam moves the plug that slides the bolt to open. The main advantage is that they are easy to fit on the door.

They are two Types of Rim Locks

  • Rim sash locks

  • Rim deadlocks

In sash latches, there will be a sliding latch that requires the handle movement to retract its position. In a Godrej latch, this component comes as just a part of the fastening kit. But in deadlocks, just a single bolt will be present and there is no need for a handle to withdraw the position. These are much easier to screw on the door’s surface. One can see the entire latch's body after installing it over the door. In general, the term ledge latch means the installation procedure but not the fastening mechanism. 

Thus, they can make use of either a spring-loaded sliding latch bolt or a deadlocking bolt. If you want to buy one deadbolt model, you can prefer buying Godrej ultra deadbolt. These are some basic categories, but now various types are introduced in the market such as digital ones.
