<div>This&nbsp;Suffolk thumb latch&nbsp;is made from hand-forged iron.&nbsp;It is&nbsp;a high quality product, with&nbsp;a beeswax finish and hand forged using traditional English blacksmithing methods. The design is&nbsp;based on timeless classics but hand-forging means no two pieces are identical, each one&nbsp;a unique yet functional work of art that will only enhance its setting. The&nbsp;latch is hot forged i.e. drawn to shape, not welded or fabricated.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">The latch comes complete with a screw in retaining arm staple or alternative nail in staple (except large size), and a door frame keep. The keep is designed to be nailed into the door frame and then a screw fitted to secure it strongly to the door frame. The large latch set is designed for much larger doors and is substantially bigger than the small size.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>These latches combine functionality, traditional looks and durability -&nbsp;they&nbsp;will enhance the look of&nbsp;any door and at the same time work as&nbsp;sturdy fully functional thumb latches. Comes complete with all fixings and screws. Available in&nbsp;two different sizes.&nbsp; Also available with an extra long thumb latch for doors over 45mm in thickness. Please note the Beeswax Finish is for internal use only.</div>

Hi

We are really sorry to hear that you do not like your beeswax items you have purchased from us.    You mention the word 'tacky' a few times and this is how the beeswax finish feels. 

The beeswax finish is the most authentic finish for the bare steel. Once the blacksmiths have finished forging the items, to preserve the colour and texture from the hammer and anvil, they apply pure beeswax.  This gives a subtle matt richness to the metal and offers excellent protection when the products are fitted internally and properly maintained with beeswax maintenance wax.

It sounds like the beeswax finish is just not right for you.  If you have not fitted the items and would like to return them to us, it is not a problem.  All of the items you have ordered are available in the Black Finish, which would probably be more suitable for you, as they have a baked on finish, which will give a different feel to the items and will require less maintenance.
