Our internal ledged doors are great for period properties, they are found in all styles of homes from country cottages to barn conversions so why not keep your hardware in with the same style and order some of the below hardware to make sure your door suits it’s settings.
Beeswax and Pewter Hardware kits
These kits include 2 x 18″ Tee Hinges and 1 x Suffolk Thumb latch which is all you need to hang one of our doors. If you decide you would like a latch with a bit more style why not choose or Beeswax Heart Door Hardware Set complete with 2 x 18″ Tee Hinges and Thumb latch with a heart design.
Bi-Fold Hinges and Tee Hinges
If you have ordered a bi-fold door as standard they do not come with the hinges that hold the two halves together, so why not get these to match the hardware and get either our Pewter or Beeswax ‘H’ Hinges.
Our 12″ Tee hinges are a great way to hang your Bi-fold door if you decide not to use a bi-fold tracking system, they are designed to cope with the weight of our solid oak and pine doors and above all, really set the look of the door off.
Pull Handles and Bolts
If you have a cupboard door or even a bifold that doesn’t require locking, then why not try our Beeswax Pull Handles? They are available in both a 4″ and 6″ length and are the perfect finishing touch for your ledged door.
If you have purchased an internal stable door and need something to hold the two parts of the door together then our beeswax bolts are an ideal choice. Available in 4″ or 6″ lengths as well as a cranked or straight design, these have a multitude of uses and can even be used if have a set of French doors. They are also an alternative to Suffolk Latches if you are wanting to have a less bulky bolt on a bathroom door.
