Our best seller - A Traditional Ledge and Braced Door

This style of door is very popular and very versatile and looks wonderful left in natural wood or with a painted or a stained finish.

It’s simple and elegant in design and we make lots of these for customers as they suit any style of home.

Fitted with a traditional thumb latch set, this decorative door latch has a thumb-shaped lever. When the 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 thumb latches are hammered into shape from mild steel using the traditional manufacturing method of an anvil and fire.

  • Thumb latches are usually used in conjunction with a tee hinge on traditional plank doors.

  • All of our hardware can be ordered individually - ideal if you want to spruce up your existing doors - contact us for more information at hello@longbarnhome.co.uk
