Bean 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 bean thumblatches are offered in a variety of options, including standard, heavy for larger doors, XL for thicker doors and slim for finer doors.
We also offer matching penny end T hinges and bean ‘D’ handles.
Pewter Patina Finish - (For Internal or External Use)
Our pewter finish is elegant and beautifully highlights the texture of the steel. The unique and complex process runs deep into the metal resulting in an unmatched contrast of texture and colour. This finish has been salt tested to 480 hours, which meets grade 5 British Standard. It has excellent anti-corrosive properties but we recommend that this finish is wiped with a lightly oiled cloth from time to time which will remove harmful deposits and maintain its original condition.
