That 'solid thud' you describe is exactly what makes old hardware feel so satisfying. Do you think modern rim locks can ever replicate that same sense of assurance, or is it unique to the vintage ones?
That solid thud really is something special. I swapped out a modern latch for an antique rim lock last year, and the difference in feel and sound is night and day—it’s like the door suddenly has a soul.
I've always loved the heft of a good rim lock—it's like history in your hand. Do you find that the brass ones patina nicely over time, or do you prefer keeping them polished?
