Rim Locks & Latches

Surface-Fixed Locking Options for Period and Practical Use

Rim locks and latches are surface-mounted, making them especially useful where a mortice cannot be cut—such as thin doors, outbuildings, or internal doors in period homes. These locks sit flush to the door and are commonly paired with decorative doorknobs for an authentic heritage finish.

Whether you're working on a restoration project in Kirkby Stephen or upgrading a cottage near Grange-over-Sands, rim locks offer both aesthetic charm and practical functionality. They’re also widely used on internal doors in character homes throughout the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales.

Styles and Finishes to Suit Every Project

Our range includes rim deadlocks, latch-only options, and dual-function locks for doors that need both passage and security. Finishes such as cast iron, antique brass, and black powder coat complement period and rustic interiors. For functional builds—like garages and utility spaces in Penrith, Barrow or Coniston—sturdier steel-cased options are available.

T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery supplies rim locking hardware across Kendal, Windermere, and a 30-mile radius including villages around Sedbergh, Levens, and Ulverston. Our collection includes quality hardware solutions to suit trade joiners and self-builders alike.
