From The Anvil Privacy and Bar Latch Sets

Hand-Forged Bar Latches and Privacy Latches

A bar latch is the simplest fastening for a plank door: a hand forged latch bar that drops into a staple or keep fixed to the frame. From The Anvil describes its latch sets as a simple fastening option for single side access, such as cupboard and wardrobe doors.

The plain Latch Set has a small decorative knob to lift the bar. The Privacy latch set has a square fixing plate with rounded ends, and the bar lifts out of its keep. The Oxford privacy latch set has a decorative knob and is reversible, and the Shakespeare latch set is a decorative alternative to a thumblatch, opened by turning its ring.

Privacy and Bar Latch Sets: Questions

Where would I use a bar latch set?

Are these latch sets handed?

The Privacy, Oxford privacy and Shakespeare latch sets are reversible, so they can be fitted on either the left or right hand side of the door. Check each product page for the latch length and keep size before you order.
