Beeswax Thumb Turn and Release

Beeswax is a distinctive, living finish that brings true rustic charm to your door hardware. Each beeswax thumb turn is crafted with traditional methods, giving it a warm, natural look that works beautifully with exposed beams, timber doors, and ironmongery in older properties.

These sets are as functional as they are beautiful. A simple internal turn allows you to lock the door without a key, and a coin-slot release on the outside makes it possible to unlock in emergencies. This makes them ideal for bathrooms used by families or guests where safety and style are both priorities.

Pair your beeswax turn and release with a suitable locking mechanism — either a 2.5" (64mm) or 3" (76mm) tubular deadbolt or bathroom mortice lock. Most beeswax sets are built to work with a standard 5mm spindle and install easily on traditional wooden doors.

Because beeswax is a natural finish, it will continue to patina over time, giving even more character to your interior. Occasionally wiping with a soft cloth and a little beeswax polish will help maintain its beauty.
