Thumb & Ring Latches

Based in Kendal, T.H. Wiggans Ironmongery has supported joiners and tradespeople across Cumbria and North Lancashire since 1976. Our range of thumb and ring latches – often called Suffolk latches – brings timeless functionality and handmade craftsmanship to interior and exterior doors.

These latches are ideal for use in barns, cottages, converted farmhouses, and period properties. Many are available in finishes such as antique black, pewter, and beeswax, with matching accessories to complete the look. Whether you're looking for a traditional forged thumb latch or a decorative ring latch with a hammered texture, you’ll find quality options here from trusted names like Kirkpatrick and From The Anvil.

Each design is made for timber doors and gates, offering easy operation with a traditional lift-and-latch mechanism. Most include the latch bar, keeper, and staple, with coordinating screws and surface fixings.
