Does it seem daft to say that a piece of door furniture can give one a great deal of pleasure? Well this does.
I have a Victorian cupboard door that had lost all its original furniture decades back, but was still in use with a horribly ancient B&Q 'brass' knob.
The door frame had slots (several) cut into it for various ex-fitments, and after a lot of umming and ahhing, I decided a Suffolk latch was what we needed.
It took me a couple of hours to custom fit it into place, but it works like a dream and looks superb. The only thing I would say is - DIMENSIONS! yep, with something like this you really do need a specific set of dimensions. 7" x 5" is a bit too loose, but then even on the Kirkpatrick site, there's no proper dimensions . .
Also, the mounting plates for the handle are not entirely flat. Put it on a flat horizontal surface and the lower one curves up. Initially I thought this was a fault, but I think it is probably the design; when fitted, the thumb plate sits very slightly away from the door (I'm talking a couple of millimetres, if that) and again I think this is to allow correct movement of the mechanism, so don't be worried.
Anyway, if you're retrofitting this to replace a knackered old latch, you'll be pleased. It's very well made, tactile and a joy to look at. Also, that wee 'sneck' sound when you push the door shut . . an absolute delight.

The latches look really smart on our cottage doors and they feel nice to the touch as well as they have a good weight to them and a nice texture too .
Thank you.
