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 into shape from mild steel using the traditional manufacturing method of an anvil and fire.
• Thumblatches are usually used in conjunction with a tee hinge on traditional plank doors.
• Maximum door thickness: 80mm.
• Supplied with matching SS wood screws.

Our external beeswax is unique to From the Anvil and is manufactured from an anti-corrosive beeswax.  It has a matt richness and like our standard beeswax, the depth of colour ranges from blue to deep red ochre.  An extremely natural finish and a far softer alternative to a black powder coated finish.
