Description

What is the purpose of a pine latch block?

A pine lock block can be used in connection with a handle or a Suffolk latch (these can be found in the hardware section of the website).  Some may find that the lock block is needed to prevent cutting into existing architrave or door frame as much.

The lock block gives your door a 40mm thickness which is preferable when fixing a latch set to a door. Without the block, the door is 20mm, this is quite thin for a latch to be installed to and may cause the hardware to protrude from the door more than what is wanted. By using the latch block, you can give your door sufficient thickness to fit a handle comfortably.

What size is the pine latch block available in?

All lock blocks which are manufactured in the pine timber are supplied at a standard 250 x 115 x 20mm. The size is deliberate to allow a Suffolk thumb latch to fit nicely along the latch block.

What timber is the pine latch block made from?

A Pine lock block is manufactured from the exact same timber as the internal pine doors. All timber is kiln dried before it reaches us to a low moisture content. This is to kill anything live living in the timber, and also to ensure the timber is fit for purpose to be used internally.

The pine lock blocks, also known as latch blocks are manufactured on site in Sheffield.  The main purpose of these items are to sit the Suffolk latch onto them during the installation of your internal ledged doors.

What hardware does the pine latch block work with?

The pine latch blocks work with the Suffolk latches or the handles which are available on the hardware page. If you are purchasing a pine bracing pack, a lock block is included so you will not need to buy an additional one.

The pine lock block is supplied loose so they can be installed on site.  You can then choose the way you prefer the lock block to.  You can install these by gluing/pinning or both, onto the ledged door.

Installation instructions are available to download from this page.
