Evoke the timeless character of traditional British ironmongery with the Fleur-de-Lys Suffolk Latch Set in Black Antique. One of the most enduring latch designs in English hardware history, the Suffolk latch combines a long, elegant bar with a shaped backplate and pivoting catch — all enriched here with the ornate Fleur-de-Lys heraldic motif and a deep Black Antique iron finish.

The Suffolk latch operates via a pivoting lever bar that lifts the latch catch on the reverse of the door, providing smooth, intuitive access from both sides. Unlike a thumblatch, the Suffolk latch features a longer, more slender bar profile that spans a greater portion of the door face, creating a striking visual presence that is as much a decorative feature as a functional one. At 255mm, this set is generously proportioned for solid timber gates, cottage doors, and barn entrances where traditional hardware is a defining element of the aesthetic.

Finished in Black Antique iron (ABK), the latch carries the same aged, artisan patina as the wider Fleur-de-Lys range, making it a natural companion to the Fleur-de-Lys lever handles, escutcheons, and thumblatch. Supplied as a complete set including backplate, latch bar, pivoting lever, and keep strike. An essential choice for period properties, rural retreats, and heritage renovation projects.
