Rim Lock- DHM CO 1500

Horizontal mount style rim lock made by Denver Hardware Manufacturing Co. It is marked on the outside DHM CO.  This was a small fairly regional company that operated between 1892-1895. It may have also had some connection to Russell and Erwin, as I have a door plate with this marking in what seems to be the popular R & E Amarat pattern. The rim lock features  an additional latch locking mechanism at the top. The latch is reversible. The box measures 4 1/4″l x 3 3/8″h. It is marked on the inside 1500.

We clean, oil and test all of our lock boxes to make sure that they are fully functional. If needed, we may be able to match a skeleton key. We also may be able to match a strike plate/keeper for an additional $10. Please let us know if you are needing additional parts. It is best if we can match parts up while we have it in hand so that we can make sure everything works together properly.
