Why Choose Our Thumb & Ring Latch Sets?

Traditional Craftsmanship Meets Timeless Appeal

At Trade Door Handles, we specialise in supplying Thumb & Ring Latch Sets that are more than just hardware – they're heritage. Designed specifically for use on Ledged & Braced doors often found in barn conversions, country cottages, and rustic-style homes, these latch sets are built for both form and function.

The two most popular styles include:

  • Thumb Latch (Suffolk Latch): Featuring a thumb-operated lever on one side and a lift catch on the reverse.
  • Ring Gate Latch: Operated by rotating the ring, lifting the bar to open the door.

These latch sets aren’t intended for high security but are ideal for interior spaces or light external use. Many of our designs include a privacy pin or chain, making them perfect for bathrooms or WC doors. Sourced directly from British artisans like Kirkpatrick, our Thumb & Ring Latch Sets stand out for their authenticity and craftsmanship.

Available in multiple textured finishes, they harmonise beautifully with timber doors and add that final decorative touch. Whether you're after a Rustic Antique Black finish or the soft glow of Beeswax, we've got the perfect match. 🖤🪵
