Acorn Manufacturing uses machines to replicate the process. While the company's products aren't as quirky and unique as hand-forged hardware, its designers have paid close attention to detail. As a result, the company's products are solid replicas of hand-forged hardware, and they're both affordable and available at lumber yards and hardware stores on a moment's notice. The rim latch set shown here works nicely with site-made board-and-batten doors. To complete the look, hang the doors with the company's strap hinges or cabinet door hinges.
