Heritage Hand-Forged Beeswax Door Hardware Kit - Black Antique

Everything you need to fit your new ledged door in one box. Two 18″ heavy-duty strap hinges, a high-quality thumb latch and matching screws.

These hand-forged beeswax ironmongery sets are perfect for oak, pine or painted ledged doors and contain everything you will need to complete your door installation. 2 x 18″ hinges per door are recommended, fitted to the top and bottom ledge of each. Stable doors commonly have 4 hinges (1 per ledge, 2 per leaf).

Suffolk Latch and T hinge packs are an amazing choice for solid timber ledge doors as they are heavy duty, and can cope with the heavy weights of oak doors in particular. The sets are also in an ‘antique’ style and suit the look of the cottage style ledged doors. They are hand forged in a heavy grade of steel. Next, it is aged and then finished in a hammered beeswax finish. All of the components in the set are substantial and add a real touch of class to your door.

The hinges are specifically designed to cope with the weight of solid oak doors. Rather than the normal single barrel construction, the hinges have been upgraded to a twin barrel design. The result is an immensely strong hinge that will not sag over time even under the weight of oak doors.

The size and weight of the thumb latch was increased so that it was an appropriate quality. The latch is supplied with both a keep for the door frame as well as a locking pin to provide a simple locking function for bathroom or bedroom doors for example. All of the screws needed to fit the set are included, in a matching beeswax slotted dome head in a good thick screw gauge.
