Traditional Hand Forged Hardware

Traditional Latches and Latch Sets

Our traditional latch collection includes Suffolk thumb latches, cottage latches and decorative Gothic designs. These surface-mounted fittings are particularly well suited to traditional ledged and braced timber doors.

For cupboards, pantries and doors accessed from one side, explore our traditional latch sets. Options include arrow-end, penny-end and T-bar designs in black beeswax and pewter finishes.

Replacement keepers, staples and selected privacy components are available in our latch accessories collection. Compatibility varies, so check the relevant product dimensions before ordering a replacement component.

Hand-Forged Hinges

Choose from a range of traditional surface-mounted hinges for doors, cupboards and heritage-style joinery. Our traditional hinge collection includes:

• T-hinges with penny-end and arrow-end details for ledged and braced doors
• H and HL hinges for doors, cupboards and framed joinery
• Butterfly hinges for cupboards, cabinets and lighter furniture doors
• Heavy-duty barn door hinges for larger timber door applications

Hinge suitability depends on the door construction, width, weight and intended use. Consult the dimensions and product information supplied with each design before selecting a hinge size.

Door Bolts, Pull Handles and Hooks

Our traditional door bolts include straight and cranked designs for different fitting levels. The collection also includes decorative fishtail and shepherd’s crook patterns for period-style internal doors.

Complete your joinery with hand-forged pull handles in penny-end, arrow-end and Gothic-inspired styles. These can be used on suitable doors, cupboards and larger cabinet fronts.

For hallways, bedrooms and utility spaces, our traditional hooks provide coordinating storage for coats, hats and robes.

Traditional Nails and Studs

Hand-forged nails and decorative studs can add period detail to doors, panelling, furniture and restoration projects. Choose the appropriate fixing according to the timber, material thickness and whether the item is decorative or structural.

Choosing Beeswax or Pewter Finishes

Black beeswax retains much of the character and colour variation created during forging, resulting in a dark traditional appearance. Pewter provides a lighter, cooler finish while retaining the textured character of the metal.

These finishes can change through handling and use. Standard beeswax and pewter products should generally be protected from damp or exposed exterior conditions unless the individual listing specifically states otherwise. Where exterior suitability is required, look for a product designed and finished for outdoor use.
