Description
A traditional 8 inch thumb latch with a bean head design, suitable for doors up to 60mm in thickness. Our antique door latches come in a range of sizes and designs – this simple bean end finish to the latch and handle is classic and traditional and matches our bean head hinges.
The handle measures 20cm from top to bottom and the latch bar itself is 19cm long. The bean heads themselves are 6cm wide and the handle stands 5cm proud of the door providing plenty of space to grasp it.
Our wrought iron heavy duty door latches are all individually hand forged, and so they are similar but not identical. Each piece is hand finished and given a bees wax coating. All our hand forged products are carefully aged. Once installed these products will look old and authentic.
This latch will go well with our Penny End Hinges

This is a nice chunky, klunky latch that works well and is easy to install. Getting the latch keep in took a bit of piloting/ hammering. There is one drawback for me and that is the keep for the latch bar sticks out far too much and has caused people to catch themselves. I think a rework on this slight design fault may be good. A locking pin would also be a nice option but it doesnt have that yet.
