Gothic Thumblatches
Traditionally used on a ledge and braced door, a thumb latch set is a decorative door latch with a thumb shaped lever. When the thumb shaped lever is pressed down this operates a thumb bar which passes through the door, this lifts the latch bar on the opposite side causing it to open.
Our blacksmith thumblatches are hammered to shape from mild steel using the traditional manufacturing method of an anvil and fire. Once the mild steel thumblatch has been hand forged it is finished in our factory in our available finishes, which includes beeswax, external beeswax, black powder coated or pewter patina. The end result is a strong, beautifully detailed product ideal for any traditional project.
Our gothic thumblatches are offered in a variety of options, including standard, XL for thicker doors and our decorative Tuscan design.
We also offer matching arrow head T hinges and gothic ‘D’ handles.
Polished Brass Finish - (For Internal or External Use)
Our polished brass products are made from solid unlacquered brass. Regular polishing with a good quality metal polish is recommended to maintain the original highly polished finish. However, if the intention is to allow the surface to age through oxidization, no attention needs to be given. Over time the brass will acquire a darker and more aged patina. This finish has been salt tested to 480 hours, which meets grade 5 British Standard.
