The rim lock is a mechanical latchbolt lock made by Godrej that’s built to keep doors from being pushed or pulled open without the right key — and it does that with a 60 mm backset that suits typical wooden doors in homes and offices.

This version is specifically the 1CK latchbolt with outside opening, meaning you operate it with a key from the exterior and a knob or thumb-turn on the interior, which is standard for entry points where you need secure exterior access.

Key Features:

• Five‑bolt engagement - gives more solid hold in the frame than a single strike latch so a crowbar attack doesn’t just pop the door open.
• EXS+ pin cylinder - high‑pin count equals massive key combinations, which makes duplicates and picking much harder than older simple cylinders.
• 60 mm backset - deep mounting means the lock sits well inside thick wooden doors without awkward offsets.
• Outside opening setup - good fit for main doors where exterior key control is a must, especially in rental or commercial spaces.
• Manual interior control - interior knob gives quick exit without fumbling for a key, which matters in daily traffic.

Applications

If you’re fitting a standard wooden or composite door and want a step up from cheap night latches, this latchbolt rim lock stands up to daily use — residential entry doors, office rooms, store fronts, or workshop entrances all benefit from its simple yet intense mechanical locking.

Why Choose This Model

Here’s the thing — you don’t need hardware that’s flashy, you need hardware that won’t fail you. This lock gives you that with its multiple locking points and finely machined cylinder, which translates to fewer callbacks and less worry about someone walking off with an easy key copy.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Backset – 60 mm - means the centre of the key cylinder sits 60 mm from the door edge, matching most door preps and keeping the bolt square in the strike.
• 1CK Configuration - single cylinder lock, key from outside and knob inside — straightforward for front doors or storerooms.
• Latchbolt Type - not a deadbolt, so you get quicker locking action and automatic engagement as the door shuts.
• EXS+ Cylinder - higher key‑combination count makes unauthorized duplication much harder compared with budget locks.
• Five Locking Bolts - spreading load across five points reduces the chance of break‑in via brute force.

Who Should Buy This

If you’re a contractor specifying hardware or a homeowner tired of flimsy locks, this model’s practical security and mechanical simplicity make it a solid pick — especially where you want something that installs and operates without fuss.

Don’t overthink it: if the job calls for a stout, classic rim lock that doesn’t rely on electronics and won’t leave you calling for service every season, this one is worth your attention.
