Product Information

Full details

The EAI Rim Sashlock is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure sheds, gates, and internal doors with a robust, surface-mounted mechanism. This lock provides the significant benefit of dual-sided operation when paired with a compatible rim knob set, offering a reliable locking solution for both internal and exterior environments. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that as a surface-mounted rim lock, it requires precise alignment during installation to ensure the latch and bolt engage smoothly with the strike plate.

Troubleshooting

The latch is stiff and does not click into place.

Check that the strike plate is correctly aligned and not obstructing the latch movement; slightly loosen screws to adjust the plate position.

Key is difficult to turn.

Ensure the door is not warped, which can put pressure on the bolt, and apply a small amount of graphite or silicone lubricant into the keyway.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High rust resistance due to black powder coating
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
  • Versatile handedness for left or right opening doors
  • Includes all necessary matching fixings

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of rim knob set for two-sided operation
  • Surface mounting requires visible hardware on the door face
  • Limited to inward-opening doors only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools, including a drill and screwdriver. 1. Align the lock body on the surface of the door, ensuring the latch aligns with the strike plate on the door frame. 2. Mark the screw holes and pilot them before securing the lock with the provided fixings. 3. If installing a rim knob set, ensure the spindle passes through the door correctly. For maintenance, keep the keyway clear of debris and apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the latch mechanism twice a year to maintain smooth operation. Wipe the powder-coated surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or salt buildup from exterior environments.
