Alexander And Wilks Portinscale Rim Lock C/W Snib & Keep Unlaquered Brass AW101PBU

The Alexander and Wilks Portinscale Rim Lock is a traditional horizontal rim lock with a beaded case and a snib and keep. It is available in three finishes; cast iron with brass details, or crafted from solid brass and finished in bright polished nickel for a more modern touch or unlacquered polished brass that will naturally age over time to create a warm and tactile patina. Alexander & Wilks represents the very best of architectural hardware and ironmongery. Supplied in SINGLES complete with fixings. Door knobs must be ordered separately. Please Note: Not suitable for use with Porcelain Door Knobs.

Refined and timeless, the Portinscale Rim Lock by Alexander & Wilks marries period authenticity with practical use. Crafted in unlaquered polished brass, its warm surface develops a rich patina over time that complements Victorian, Arts & Crafts, and early 20th‑century interiors. The horizontal lock’s beaded case and built‑in sliding snib offer a tasteful, self‑contained locking solution—ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms where traditional character meets everyday function

Key features & benefits

• Authentic Victorian silhouette: subtly beaded and designed in the style of 19th‑century rim locks, perfect for heritage properties or period‑inspired restorations

• Unlaquered brass finish: natural polish brightens initially, then matures into an appealing patina—no sealant required

• Built‑in snib lever: discreetly locks door from inside; ideal for privacy on bedrooms and bathrooms

• Reversible (not handed): fits either right‑ or left‑hand doors without adjustment

• Compact yet robust: lock case measures ~108 × 115 mm; keep ≈110 × 24 mm, making it unobtrusive yet secure

• Complete package: comes with snib and keep; choose your favourite door knobs (not included) to finish the look

Installation is straightforward—fit the rim lock to the inside surface of a standard door, mortise the edge slightly for the latch, and align the keep on the jamb. Coordinate with your desired door hardware style: pair with Alexander & Wilks Tortoise‑shell or Spitfire knobs for a matched set in brass, nickel, or black finishes. (Porcelain door knobs are not recommended due to latch alignment.)
