Together, let’s go through the benefits, installation method and the security tips to be followed after choosing from our range of rim lock door knobs.

BENEFITS

  1. Security: A rim lock door knob is affixed to the door’s surface and therefore provides an additional layer of security protection against intruders since it is harder for them to crack or access your door and gain entry into your residence. Judge Hardware’s Wrought Iron Colonial Carpenters Rim Lock with Brass Knobs is well received as a product ensuring safety to homes with its colonial details and strong brass knobs. 

 

  1. Aesthetics: These knobs offer multiple styles and finishes to provide an aesthetic value for your doors. They are classy and elegant enough to be used with a blend of antique and modern themes-thus, giving sophistication in rooms. At Judge Hardware, the options of these rim lock door knobs are plenty. Check out our Cast Iron Rectangular Decorative Surface Rim Lock Set with White Porcelain Knobs which showcases a beautiful appeal with its white porcelain detailing. 

 

  1. Build: At Judge Hardware, tough materials are involved in the making of rim lock door knobs, such as cast iron, brass, and porcelain, thereby proving to be wear and tear-resistant day in and day out. The point is that it promises not only lengthy service life but also fewer replacements, so right now, it is a clever investment for your home.

 

INSTALLATION

 

Installing rim lock door knobs isn’t a difficult process and will make your home safer and smarter. Here’s how to start:

 

Tools

 

  1. Screwdriver
  2. Measuring tape
  3. Pencil

 

  1. Choose the Installation Spot: Decide where you want to install the rim lock in your door. Generally, it should be set at a convenient height.

 

  1. Mark the Installation Position: Mark the installation position with a pencil. It should be nearly the centre and aligned to the centre of your pre-installed hardware mounted on the door in case you have any.

 

  1. Mounting of Lock Body into the Door: Mount the lock body into the recess at the marked position. Use the screws supplied with it and press firmly against the door, flush.

 

  1. Mount the Knob: Mount the knob to the lock mechanism according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In most cases, you will be able to screw a spindle through the lock body and attach the knob to the spindle.

 

  1. Try Locking It: When all is installed, try locking the knob. You will then know if it turns easily and the lock engages properly. Adjust if necessary.

 

SECURITY TIPS

 

  1. Quality Locks: Spend your money on super-durable, high-security rim lock door knobs of robust material. The more reinforced structure and advanced locking mechanism would be a plus in resisting meddling as well as unauthorised access. A good lock is the first defence against intruders.

 

  1. Maintenance: The lock is installed at a height that permits the lock to be operated easily and with little strain. All screws must be tightened. Regularly inspect the lock and maintain it to operate quietly for as long a time as possible without wear and tear against the security.

 

  1. Layer Your Safety Measures: Install, for example deadbolt or secondary locking devices that provide a layering effect on the door: much harder to make an entry through this way. Educate each person in the household how to use the locks as well as where to store extra keys so misuse does not compromise the security.
