Product Information
Full details
The Loops Traditional Rim Deadlock in Gold is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, surface-mounted locking solution for internal doors, gates, and sheds. Offering a blend of aesthetic classic appeal and certified security, this deadlock provides peace of mind through its robust construction and 5-year mechanical guarantee. While it excels in durability and ease of installation, users should note that as a surface-mounted rim lock, it provides a different security profile compared to internal mortise locks and requires proper alignment to ensure the latch engages smoothly.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this lock be used on external doors?
It is best suited for internal doors, gates, or shed doors; it is not recommended as the primary security lock for external house entry doors.
Is the gold finish weather-resistant?
The finish is durable, but because it is a metal-based coating, it may show signs of wear over time if exposed to harsh, direct coastal weather.
Does the lock come with keys?
Yes, the product includes the necessary keys for operation.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 5-year mechanical guarantee.
Does it meet fire safety standards?
Yes, the lock has undergone Certifire testing, confirming its suitability for fire-rated environments.
Troubleshooting
Key is difficult to turn in the cylinder
Check that the lock body is not mounted too tightly to the door, which can cause binding; apply a small amount of graphite lubricant.
The bolt does not line up with the strike plate
Adjust the position of the strike plate on the door frame until the bolt enters the opening freely.

- Suitable for a wide range of door types including sheds and gates
- Durable gold finish resistant to tarnishing
- Easy to install as a surface-mounted unit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Measure the door height to determine the optimal lock placement for ergonomic access.
- Position the lock body on the surface of the door and mark the screw holes.
- Drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting, then secure the lock body using the provided hardware.
- Align the keep (strike plate) on the door frame so that the bolt enters the hole cleanly without friction.
- Test the lock with the key multiple times before fully tightening all mounting screws.
Compatibility:
This lock is intended for use on internal doors, gates, and shed doors. It is not recommended for external main entry doors that require high-security multi-point locking systems.
Care:
Clean the lock periodically with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the luster of the gold finish. Avoid using abrasive household cleaners or acidic chemicals, as these can damage the protective coating. Lubricate the internal cylinder once a year with a graphite-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
