Rim Locks: these are a low security lock that screw to the outer surface of the door (as opposed to a mortice lock, which is 'morticed' inside the door). Rim locks require the use of mortice knobs with a threaded spindle (the knob screws onto a 'threaded' spindle and is secured by grub screws). This is because you are relying on the knob being held in place against the Rim lock surface (you can't attach a knob on a backplate to the surface of a Rim Lock with screws). You will also require an Escutcheon to cover up the hole for the key on the other side of the door.This Rim Lock is also available as a Rim Lock and Milled Edge Knob Passage Set, paired with a Small Milled Edge Mortice Knob on a round rose.
