Callum4878 Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi, have 3 upright right hand brass rim locks on my boat, about 4” x 2” and completely devoid of any markings at all. One has worn out and I’d like a matching replacement, but can’t find one anywhere, any ideas anyone? Boat was built by Mel Davis and fitted out by Lyons. Nearest I can find is a much smaller one from a chandlers for £201!, mad price for a plain no nonsense lock, even if it is brass. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBiscuits Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Do you have any photos of yours? Alternatively please provide a link to the one you found so we know the type you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Tee Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Have you tried Mel Davis? Only other logical answer is to replace all three - there seem to be lots of horizontal ones available, but none vertical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum4878 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Yes tried Mel, he remembered my boat, but he didn’t do the fit out, it was Lyons, and they’re no longer in business I understand. Can’t use horizontals, as they fit on to a narrow section of oak. one is rear doors and two are either side of my bathroom, what I may have to do is swap one onto the rear doors and source two for the bathroom, that way I have a spare.

Tracy D'arth Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Tricky, the Baldwin company in the US is the closest I have come across. https://www.theglampad.com/2020/03/a-traditional-new-old-home-in-california.html/baldwin-rim-lock-unlacquered-brass-architect-home How worn out is the lock? could a good metal worker sort it out?

Callum4878 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi Tracy, that is pretty close, key hole and knob in wrong place unfortunately, plus I’d probably need to apply for a mortgage to buy it. Funnily enough I had the idea of a refurbished lock myself this morning, the old one had to be drilled out, so has a bit of damage internally, but spoke to a local locksmith this morning, and I’m dropping in to him tomorrow ?. Thanks for the suggestion. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbutus Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 How about this from Aquafax. They also show a box door striker to go with it. https://www.aquafax.co.uk/cabin-fittings/door-fittings?page=2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum4878 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 That’s the very item! Thank you. Aquafax don’t deal with the general public, but I will request one through one of their suppliers. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
