MLM LEHMANN IC Rim Locks – Type 530 Furniture Locks for Bit Keys

The MLM LEHMANN IC rim locks Type 530 are traditional mechanical furniture locks designed for lockable cabinets and furniture doors. As part of the MLM LEHMANN IC range, these surface-mounted locks are fitted to the inside of suitable furniture doors and operated using a compatible bit key.

Rim locks are particularly suitable for furniture constructions where a surface-mounted locking mechanism is required rather than a mortise lock recessed into the door.

Choosing the Correct Backset for a Rim Lock

The backset is the distance from the centre of the keyhole to the front edge of the lock or to the front edge of the cam when the lock is in the unlocked position.

MLM LEHMANN rim locks Type 530 are available with backsets of 12mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm. When replacing an existing furniture lock, the backset should be checked carefully against the original lock and the available installation space.

Right-Hand and Left-Hand Rim Locks

MLM LEHMANN IC rim locks Type 530 are available for right-hand and left-hand applications. The handing is determined by the position of the door hinges, viewed from the opening side of the door.

• rs: Right-hand application – the hinges are on the right.
• ls: Left-hand application – the hinges are on the left.

For replacement applications, compare the handing of the existing rim lock with the required version before ordering.

Nickel-Plated and English Brown Finishes

The MLM LEHMANN IC rim lock Type 530 is offered in two finishes:

• Nickel-plated [N]: A silver-coloured metallic finish.
• English brown [B]: A dark brown finish, described in the manufacturer's catalogue as "English brown".

These finishes allow the lock to be selected according to the existing furniture hardware or the desired appearance. The finish should also be checked when replacing an existing lock.

Applications of IC Rim Locks

As surface-mounted mechanical furniture locks, MLM LEHMANN IC rim locks Type 530 can be used on suitable cabinet doors and other lockable furniture doors.

The suitability of a particular version depends on the lock dimensions, the keyhole position, the door construction and the available mounting space. Existing mounting dimensions should be checked before selecting a replacement lock.

Matching Bit Keys and Accessories

The IC rim locks Type 530 are operated using compatible furniture bit keys. When selecting a replacement key, the key profile, bit shape and relevant dimensions must match the locking mechanism.

The MLM LEHMANN IC range also includes mortise locks, espagnolette locks, furniture keys, escutcheons and system components. Compatibility between individual products must be checked for each application.
