ABUS 2130 review

The 2130 is ABUS's entrance-door rim lock: a sturdy two-turn deadbolt, a thumbturn on the inside and a key from outside, supplied with two keys, in white.

The conclusion ABUS's rim lock for entrance doors, in white. Check its dimensions against your door, then fix the keep properly.

This is the entrance-door member of ABUS’s rim lock range, and it does the same job as the 2110; ABUS designates it for entrance doors.

The bolt, and why the throw matters

A two-turn deadbolt goes further into the keep than a single-turn one. That extra engagement is not cosmetic: resisting a lever is a question of how much steel is inside the frame and how much frame is carrying it. A bolt that only just enters its keep leaves at the first serious push.

What is not published

The 2110 listing states door thickness of 35 to 50 mm (1.38 to 1.97 in) and a recess up to 21 mm (0.83 in). This listing does not publish equivalents, so the manual is where to check before ordering. Where a manufacturer does not state a figure, this site does not supply one.

The rule that governs the whole family

Fix the keep into the structural frame. The lock body is bolted through the door and will not fail; the keep is screwed to a frame, and the timber around two short screws is what splits. Longer screws, into the stud, cost nothing and are the difference between hardware that works and hardware that was there.

Who it suits

An entrance door wanting a second locking point, where the internal hardware can be white and out of the way.

The questions we are asked

How does this differ from the 2110?

They are close relatives from the same range, both surface-mounted locks with a thumbturn inside and a key outside. The 2110 listing publishes its door thickness and recess limits; this one does not, so check the manual against your own door before ordering.

What does a two-turn deadbolt mean?

The key turns twice, throwing the bolt further into the keep. More engagement means more of the bolt to shear and more of the frame carrying the load — which is the whole mechanism by which a lock resists levering.

Is white a sensible choice?

On a white vinyl or painted door, it is the finish that disappears. Visible internal hardware is the main objection people have to surface-mounted locks, and matching the door removes most of it.

Our score

7.8/ 10

ABUS's rim lock for entrance doors, in white. Check its dimensions against your door, then fix the keep properly.

The same job as the 2110 on an entrance door, where the inside hardware should stay white.
