Craftsmanship & Finish
Each Davenport Rim Lock is individually aged by hand, ensuring no two locks are ever the same. The aged pewter finish is achieved through a natural oxidising process, creating subtle variations in tone and texture. Over time, the unlacquered brass details darken gracefully, enhancing the lock’s period appeal and adding depth to its patina.
Weighing approximately 1.2kg, this substantial lock offers a reassuring feel and a true sense of quality. Designed to fit seamlessly on both left- and right-hand doors, it provides both beauty and practicality, while its matching keep ensures a cohesive and secure finish.
