Product Information

Full details

The Timco Rim Sash Lock is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, medium-security locking mechanism for internal doors and garden sheds. Its primary benefit is the reversible design, which accommodates both left and right-hand door orientations, making it a highly versatile choice for various architectural setups. A notable caveat to consider is that the product does not include mounting fixings, meaning you will need to source appropriate screws based on your specific door material before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this lock come with mounting screws?

No, the product does not include fixings. You will need to purchase screws separately based on your door material.

Can I use this on a front entrance door?

This is a medium-security lock designed for internal doors and sheds. It is not recommended for main residential entrance doors.

Is the lock handed?

No, it is a reversible lock, meaning it is suitable for both left and right-hand hung doors.

How many keys are provided?

Each unit is supplied with 2 keys.

What is the bolt throw on this lock?

The bolt throw is 13.5mm.

Can this be used outdoors?

It is suitable for sheltered or damp areas, though it should be protected from direct, heavy weather exposure.

Troubleshooting

The bolt does not extend fully into the frame.

Check that the keep is aligned correctly with the bolt and that the door is not sagging on its hinges.

Key is difficult to turn.

Apply a small amount of graphite or dry lubricant into the keyhole to clear any internal debris or friction.

The lock does not fit the door thickness.

Ensure your door is compatible with a 43mm backset; if the door is too thin, the lock body may be disproportionately large.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reversible design fits almost any door orientation
  • Suitable for use in damp or sheltered outdoor areas
  • Provides medium security for peace of mind
  • Easy to operate from both sides of the door

Cons

  • Fixings/screws are not included in the package
  • Requires specific backset clearance of 43mm
  • Not suitable for high-security exterior entrance doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Timco Rim Sash Lock, ensure you have measured your door and frame to confirm the 43mm backset fits your current door style. Since no fixings are provided, select high-quality wood screws that match the depth of your door to prevent them from protruding.

  1. Position the lock on the door surface at the desired height.
  2. Mark the screw holes and the hole for the spindle.
  3. Drill necessary holes and secure the lock body to the door.
  4. Align the keep on the door frame to ensure the bolt engages smoothly.

For maintenance, periodically wipe the lock with a dry cloth to keep the black finish looking new, and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the bolt mechanism if it becomes stiff over time.
