The history of Suffolk Latch Company dates back to 1997 when we started as a manufacturing company producing coat racks, mirrors, and oak ledge & brace doors.

Despite facing the challenges of the recession, we made the difficult decision to transition from manufacturing to supplying ironmongery. The Suffolk Latch Company online store was launched in 2007, initially focusing on hand forged hardware and expanding to include a wide range of architectural ironmongery, door & window furniture, cabinet furniture, front door furniture, and accessories. As a family-run business, Carl and Sharon, the founders of Suffolk Latch Company, are actively involved in all aspects of the business.

They personally engage with customers and make decisions regarding new product lines. Follow us on social media to get inspired for your home, as well as access tips, advice, and sneak peeks of new products. Architectural ironmongery is the term used to describe the metal products used in a house, such as door knobs, lever handles, hinges, locks, latches, and window furniture.

Suffolk Latch Company has an expanding range of solid brass, bronze, and cast iron products in classic designs. With various finishes available, our brass products cater to every home, color scheme, and interior style
