What is included in the From The Anvil Polished Brass Locks & Latches range?

The range typically includes traditional-style locks and latches in a polished brass finish, such as 5 lever sash locks, deadlocks, bathroom locks, tubular latches, rim locks, and related door security items. Product availability can vary by size and specification.

Is polished brass suitable for internal doors?

Yes. Polished brass is a popular finish for internal doors in period homes and traditional interiors. It offers a warm, classic appearance and matches well with heritage-style door furniture.

Can I use polished brass locks and latches on external doors?

Some polished brass items can be used externally depending on the specific product, location, and exposure. For external doors, choose an appropriate security grade and consider how weather and frequent use may affect the finish over time.

How do I choose the right sash lock size?

Start by confirming the door type and required security level, then check key measurements such as backset and case size. If you are replacing an existing lock, measuring the current lock is often the quickest way to match the correct size.

Polished brass finish – key benefits and considerations

Polished brass is chosen for its bright, premium appearance and its ability to lift traditional joinery. It’s a popular finish for both renovation projects and heritage-style new builds.

Pros: Classic look, warm tone, pairs well with period doors and traditional interiors, premium feel
Cons: Polished finishes can show fingerprints more easily; some settings may benefit from regular wiping/maintenance

Internal and external use

The From The Anvil polished brass range is often selected for internal and external projects, depending on the specific item and the door location. For external doors, always consider exposure, usage level, and the most suitable lock type for your security needs.

How to choose the right lock or latch

If you’re matching existing ironmongery, focus on the door function first (latch-only, locking, bathroom privacy, higher-security), then confirm sizing and compatibility (backset, centres, door thickness, and whether the door uses mortice or rim hardware).
