The Ludlow Foundries Thumb Latch Set Black Antique is ideal for cottages and midsized period properties. Its black antique finish and classic design mechanism will add a charming, authentic feel to your home. It will look perfect on wooden ledged and braced doors. The curved handle sits on two heart-shaped roses and has a lovely fresh look to it.
Bathroom Latch Option
The Thumb Latch Set has a privacy chain which is ideal for bathroom doors. To comply with Building Regulations the hole for the chain must be drilled all the way through the door so that if the door needs to be opened from the outside in event of an emergency the pin on the chain can be pushed through the door.
Maintenance Essential
To keep your thumb latch set in its original state it will need regular oiling, especially the mechanisms. An occasional clean with clear wax will also be required. Please be aware that sea air makes iron rust at a faster rate, so if your property is in an exposed coastal location a more thorough maintenance program will be needed.
