How To Choose The Correct Latch For Your Door Cottage Latches offer a traditional rustic look for your doors. This style of latch has a pair of ring turns with a latch bar set on a rectangular backplate. The latch bar side is fitted to the inwards opening side of the door, while the single ring turn handle is designed for the side of the door opening away.
