Latch hardware is a type of hardware that is used to hold a door in place within a door frame. It consists of two parts: a latch that protrudes from the door and a strike plate that is mounted on the door frame. The latch fits into the strike plate when the door is closed and holds the door securely in place. Latch hardware is typically made of metal, but can also be made of wood. In the case of wooden latch hardware, both the latch and the strike plate are made of wood. This type of hardware is often used in houses and buildings with a traditional or rustic aesthetic.
