Additional Information

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, it operates a thumb bar that passes through the door; it 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 with a tee hinge on traditional plank doors.
• Maximum door thickness: 75mm.
• Supplied with matching SS wood screws.

Product Finish

Our beeswax finish From The Anvil is the most authentic finish for steel; after forging, the colours left in the steel range from blue to deep red ochre.  Our beeswax products are dipped into hot beeswax to preserve these beautiful colours.  This gives the metal a subtle, matt richness and offers excellent protection when the products are fitted internally and properly maintained.  An extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder-coated finish.

Maintenance & Care

To ensure the finish on your beeswax product always remains at its best, we recommend re-coating your product with our ‘Maintenance Wax’ (33002) occasionally. This further protects the metal and helps prevent rust or white blooms from forming.  Due to temperature changes or packaging, a beeswax product may occasionally show signs of a white bloom upon opening.  This can be buffed with a soft cloth to remove it. 
Please note that we recommend using our external beeswax in areas of your property with high moisture content, such as bathrooms or kitchens, where possible.  Light surface rust may appear if using our standard beeswax in damp internal environments, but You can remove this easily. For accompanying external products, we recommend using our external beeswax finish.
