Cromwell Rim Latch – Cast Iron with Brass Fittings Bring authenticity, character, and functional charm to your interior with the Cromwell Rim Latch – a beautifully detailed, surface-mounted door latch inspired by classic 18th- and 19th-century ironmongery. Designed for use on internal doors, this traditional latch is ideal for heritage homes, country cottages, and restorations where accurate period detailing is essential. The Cromwell latch is available in three hand-aged finishes to complement a variety of interiors: – Cast iron with brass fittings – for a rugged, timeworn aesthetic – Cast brass – for a warm, golden tone suited to elegant historic homes – Nickel plated brass – for a crisper, more refined traditional look Each finish has been selected to provide a rich, aged patina that enhances the handcrafted appeal and harmonises with antique or reproduction hardware. Perfect For: – Georgian, Regency and Victorian properties – Farmhouses, cottages and listed buildings – Sympathetic renovations and period-style newer builds – Interiors where historical detail is prioritised Measuring 108mm (H) x 123mm (W), with a projection of 24mm, the Cromwell Rim Latch features compact yet substantial proportions that lend visual interest without overpowering the door. The matching keep (108mm x 24mm) ensures a neat and consistent appearance across both sides of the frame. Traditionally used on internal doors -such as bedrooms, studies, or storerooms – the rim latch provides a simple and reliable method of securing a door without the need for a modern mortice lock. Its surface-mounted design is particularly well suited to older doors, especially those that are too thin or delicate for deeper cutting. The Cromwell latch is unhanded, allowing it to be fitted on either side of the door for flexibility during installation. When paired with period-correct door knobs (available separately from our collection), it provides both ease of use and an undeniably authentic period finish. The Cromwell Rim Latch does more than serve a function – it completes the look of a thoughtfully styled interior. Its presence on a panelled or plank door adds depth, texture, and a sense of historical integrity. Whether you’re restoring a listed home or designing a classic-inspired space from scratch, this latch reinforces the visual language of the past, contributing to a cohesive and convincing period aesthetic. Matched with aged brass hinges, porcelain knobs, or beehive detailing, it enhances the overall atmosphere of quality and heritage throughout your home.
