Vians 12V Stainless Electric Security Rim Door Lock

A rim lock, or rim latch, is a lock you can mount on the outer surface of your door. Since it's usually used in addition to other, internal locks, it's often called an auxiliary lock. Rim locks, like most other locks, consist of a lock body mechanism (the bit you attach to the door) and a strike (the bit on the doorframe that the latch clicks into). Depending on your security needs, there are several different types you can choose from.

Installing Your Rim Lock

Once you've decided which rim lock you want, the next step is installation. To install the rim lock, first line up the lock body cylinder on the door where you want it to be and mark the spots for the screw holes and for the cylinder itself. Then, drill or cut holes in the door accordingly, fit the cylinder into the door, and screw it in tightly to the plate on the other side. (If it's not tight enough, a burglar can twist the cylinder in the door and break the screws, and the lock is useless.)

Once the lock body is securely installed, line up the strike on the doorframe opposite the lock, mark screw holes, and drill them. (You may also need to chisel out space for the strike body if it isn't flat.) Then, just screw the strike in place, test the lock, and make adjustments as necessary.

As we said before, rim locks are most effective when used in addition to your regular door locks-so even after you've installed a quality rim lock, don't forget to fasten your other locks, too. With the extra security of a rim lock, however, you can rest a little easier knowing that your home and your belongings are that much safer.
