Rim Cylinders

A rim cylinder is a type of lock cylinder that is commonly used in rim locks, which are mounted on the surface of a door rather than being set into the door. Rim cylinders are typically found on the outside of the door, where they are used to operate the lock mechanism.

Overall, rim cylinders offer a convenient and durable locking solution for many types of doors and locking mechanisms. They are particularly useful in situations where a quick and easy installation is required, such as in residential properties or small businesses. However, rim locks may be less secure than other types of locks, so they may not be as suitable for high-risk properties or valuable assets.

Some of the key features of rim cylinders include:

  • Compatibility: Rim cylinders are designed to fit a specific type of lock called a rim lock, making them a popular choice for many types of doors and locking mechanisms.

  • Convenience: Rim cylinders are often used as a convenient alternative to mortice locks, which require a larger hole to be cut into the door. Since rim locks are mounted on the surface of the door, they are easier to install and can be replaced more quickly than mortice locks.

  • Durability: Rim cylinders are made from high-quality materials and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor use.
