Thumb Latches

Thumb latches comprise a handle with a thumb piece, which operates a latch bar that allows a doorway or gate to be opened or locked in place when it is pushed down. Our thumb latches are produced by Olde Forge, Elden and Colonial, and come in a range of materials — including pewter, brass and heavy-duty cast iron. Should you require a period look, latches with a hammered effect provide an authentic antique style, including varieties such as ‘Cottage’, Tudor and Gothic. The option of a locking pin on many thumb latches allows the latch to be locked from the inside of your door or gate.
