Authentic Traditional Security with the Union 1465 Black Japanned 140mm Right Hand Rim Lock
Period properties and classic timber ledged and braced doors often present unique ironmongery challenges. Modern mortice locks demand deep internal cutouts that can weaken slender door stiles, compromise original joinery, or look entirely out of place in historic surroundings. When you are restoring a heritage home, managing a barn conversion, or outfitting an outbuilding, you need locking hardware that honours traditional aesthetics without sacrificing modern manufacturing standards.
The Union 1465 Black Japanned 140mm Right Hand Rim Lock provides an elegant and practical solution. Surface-mounted directly to the face of the door, this classic lock eliminates the need for extensive internal chiselling. It protects the structural integrity of your timber while presenting a classic, timeless exterior. Crafted with a hardwearing black japanned finish, it blends seamlessly with cast iron hinges, traditional latches, and rustic architectural details.
Designed specifically for inward-opening right-handed timber doors, the lock combines a key-operated deadbolt with a dual-way latchbolt mechanism. Whether you are replacing a worn period lock that has seized up or outfitting brand-new rustic joinery, this lock delivers dependable mechanical reliability, daily ease of use, and genuine visual charm straight from the box.
Core Features and Functional Benefits
Surface-mounted rim locks must balance visual authenticity with smooth everyday operation. Here is how the Union 1465 Black Japanned 140mm Right Hand Rim Lock delivers reliable performance on internal and external timber doors across the UK.
Heritage Japanned Finish
A deep black baked enamel coating shields the underlying metalwork against surface corrosion and light scuffs, recreating the historic look of traditional black ironmongery.
Preserves Timber Integrity
By fixing cleanly to the inside face of the door, the lock requires no large pockets cut into the door edge, making it perfect for thinner or antique wood frames.
Dual-Function Mechanism
Features both an operational spring latchbolt operated by standard rim door knobs and a secure deadbolt thrown by key for positive privacy and peace of mind.
Handed Design Precision
Engineered expressly for right-hand hung doors opening inward, ensuring the bevel on the latch and the internal springs sit correctly without loose play.
Installation and Operational Workflow
Fitting a surface rim lock is straightforward, but taking a measured approach ensures smooth turning, positive latching, and years of trouble-free service.
Stage 1 Handing and Position Checks
Confirm your door hangs on the right-hand side when viewing it from the inside room where the door pushes away or pulls inward. Position the lock body at a comfortable height, typically around one metre from the finished floor level, ensuring proper clearance from decorative mouldings.
Stage 2 Through-Hole Preparation
Mark the locations for your keyway and knob spindle directly onto the timber face. Bore clean holes through the door using appropriate drill bits, taking care to keep the drill perpendicular so the external key and handle line up effortlessly with the lock body.
Stage 3 Lock Body Mounting
Secure the main case firmly against the inner face of the door using suitable wood screws. Insert the spindle and test the latch mechanism using your selected rim knob set to confirm smooth retraction before securing the secondary keeper.
Stage 4 Keeper Box Alignment
Close the door and mark the exact position where the latch and deadbolt meet the door frame. Mount the matching surface staple keeper box tightly to the frame casing, ensuring the door closes snugly without excessive rattle against the weatherstrip.
Selecting the Right Hardware for Period Joinery
The Union 1465 model remains a popular choice across rural cottages, Georgian townhouses, and heritage preservation projects. Because historic doors often feature narrow rails or unique plank thicknesses, standard British standard mortice locks can be impractical or destructive to fit. A surface-mounted rim lock preserves historical fabric while introducing a reliable locking point.
Pairing this lock with the correct furniture is essential for both performance and visual harmony. Traditional rim locks require unsprung or lightly sprung rim knob sets, where one knob features an attached rose and the other clamps cleanly against the spindle. Because this lock has a 140mm wide body, it places the door knob at an ergonomically comfortable backset from the door edge, preventing knuckles from scraping against the frame casing.
Maintenance is delightfully straightforward. The black japanned finish simply requires an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove household dust and moisture. Applying a small drop of light machine oil directly onto the latch bolt and keyway once or twice a year keeps the internal brass levers and springs moving freely for decades of consistent use.

Architectural Hardware Advice
When fitting the staple keeper on rebated or flush door jambs, verify that the keeper sits flush with the lock body when the door is fully latched. If your door sits proud of the frame, small timber shims may be placed beneath the staple keeper to ensure seamless bolt entry without friction.
