What is a rim lock?
A rim lock is a locking device fixed to the surface of the door, usually on the inside, rather than recessed into its thickness. A metal case houses the mechanism, which operates one or more bolts engaging with strikes to secure the door.
Multipoint rim locks distribute locking across several positions in addition to the latch. Suitable models can improve the security of entrance, garage or cellar doors, depending on the door and frame.
