Suffolk Latches

Traditional Suffolk Latches

Our traditional Suffolk latches follow the well-known thumb latch mechanism and are available in two finishes. The black Suffolk thumb latch offers a classic look suited to cottage-style doors, while the pewter Suffolk latch provides a softer metallic tone ideal for lighter timber or painted interiors.

Gothic Suffolk Latches

For doors needing a more decorative touch, our Gothic Suffolk latches feature a pointed, arched backplate that adds subtle character to period joinery. Choose between the black Gothic latch and the pewter Gothic latch depending on the tone and style you prefer.

Fine Handle Suffolk Latches

The fine handle Suffolk latch is a refined variation with a slimmer grip, suited to more detailed joinery or doors where a lighter visual presence is preferred. It is available as the black fine handle Suffolk latch or the pewter fine handle Suffolk latch.

T-Bar Suffolk Latches

For a more contemporary interpretation of the traditional Suffolk latch, the T-bar version offers a clean and understated handle shape. Options include the black T-bar Suffolk latch and the pewter T-bar Suffolk latch, both suited to cottage interiors and modern rustic schemes.

Armor-Coat Suffolk Latch

Our Armor-Coat Suffolk latch offers the same traditional bar-and-thumb mechanism as the rest of the Suffolk latch family but with a high performance exterior coating. This makes it suitable for acidic timbers and exposed locations where a durable finish is essential. It is an excellent choice for garden gates, outbuildings and external timber doors requiring a long-lasting traditional latch.

Where These Latches Work Best

• Cottage and period-style internal doors
• Restoration projects and heritage joinery
• Built-in cupboards and larder doors
• Timber doors requiring a traditional surface-mounted latch
