It’s very un-British
These brass and iron Rim Locks, together with the Knobs and some other products, can be found in the Restoration section of our Brass and Bronze web site.
These are not an exclusive product and can be found on other sites and in magazine adverts.
However, we have noticed that quite a few of the companies showing these products are stating or, at the very least, stongly indicating that these products are British made. We have even seen some antique reclaimation yards claiming that they are restored originals.
As an honest company we do not make false or inaccurate claims as to the country of origin of any of our products. Indeed, we are happy to point out that, whilst being of reasonable quality, these products are imported into the UK from India and this is, or should be, reflected in the price.
If you come across these products elsewhere with a view to purchasing them we would urge you to consider your choice of supplier with care. If they are advertising them as being British made who knows what other false claims they are making.
