Introduction<\/h2>\n

Rim latches are commonly used as surface-mounted door hardware for residential, commercial and other general-purpose applications. Their construction, dimensions, material, manufacturing quality and finish directly affect their durability and proper operation.<\/p>\n

Rim latches are also included under the Door Fittings (Quality Control) Order, 2023<\/strong>, and IS 1019:1974 appears in BIS’s current compulsory certification listing under the Door Fittings category.<\/p>\n

Manufacturers supplying rim latches in India therefore need to understand the applicable BIS certification requirements and ensure that their products conform to the relevant Indian Standard.<\/p>\n
