BLACK RIMLOCK

The Romak black rim lock is a surface-mounted heritage-style door lock frequently used for interior doors in Victorian or Colonial-style homes. It features a metal case with a black finish and typically includes a matching black plastic door knob.

• Installation: Because they are surface-mounted, these locks are easier to install than mortice locks, typically requiring only minor drilling for the spindle and keyhole.
• Handing: While many modern versions (like the Zenith Romak) are reversible, some traditional brass models may be specific to left-hand or right-hand doors, so check the orientation before purchase.
• Hardware Compatibility: Most rim locks require specific "mortice knobs" with a threaded spindle rather than standard door handles.
• Security Level: These are generally considered low-security locks best suited for internal privacy, sheds, or decorative purposes rather than main external entryways.
