Suffolk Latch Black

Suffolk Latch Company

£22

Suffolk Latches are a timeless classic for ledge brace doors. Our Suffolk Latch Black is an authentic design, with a traditional penny end style. A beautiful hand forged latch, made from mild steel, finished with a black coating and layer of beeswax. Co-ordinate with matching Penny End T Hinges Black . Tip: The thumb latch handle will always be fitted to the side of the door opening away from you, while the latch bar is fitted to the side opening towards you. Please take this into account if you are considering a Locking Staple , which is designed to be fixed to the latch bar side. Please note

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SUFFOLK LATCH COMPANY LIMITED, number 06042616. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
