Colonial Lift Latch

Colonial American hardware was initially all wrought iron made by local blacksmiths.  Even screws were handmade.  Brass hardware was imported and was considerably more expensive.  Undersized doorknobs were commonly used to conserve brass.  Detailing was plain with the occasional turning of a doorknob foot

A simple reproduction of a Colonial lift latch.  Great for closet doors and for doors that do not need to open from both sides.
