The Hoosier cabinet is a household name in the early 20th century. This name was borrowed from the manufacturer Hoosier Manufacturing Co. It is famous for being a convenient all-in-one cabinet. All of its parts, including the Hoosier Cabinet Door Latch, are made from good quality products that will last for many years.
The Hoosier Cabinet, also known as the Hoosier Beauty, is a cabinet with a height of 71 inches, including its wheels, and a width of 41 inches. This cabinet is composed of three areas; these are the base area, the top area, and the bottom area. The upper part has small drawers with doors and a large lower compartment that houses the roll top or drum. The base section, on the other hand, is made up of a large compartment that contains the slide-out shelf, and the other half also contains many drawers. The lower part is connected to the upper zone and is linked by metal channels. These metals are used to guide the sliding countertop, which also has drawers attached to it, into position.
Apart from the intricately designed cabinet, there are also accessories associated with it. These are kitchen equipment that is installed in or built into the cabinet. Among these are shelves for spices and other accessories in the kitchen. There is also a flour container/sifter that can be used even without removing these equipment from their position. There is also a sugar cube that comes with the cabinet. Mason jars are made to fit into spaces and make it look like today’s built-ins. These jars have a ring mold that sits in the center and is attached to a rack. The glassware sets include the coffee, creamer and sugar canisters, as well as a salt container and a set of uniform spice canisters. Other manufacturers include a cookie jar, while other manufacturers also include necessary charts and tables regarding the most frequent conversions used in the kitchen, recipes or cookbooks, and other tips for the home.
Hoosier cabinet doors have 3 large latches engraved with the letter ‘H’. The H symbolizes the manufacturer’s name. These days there are still a few other manufacturers selling Hoosier items. One of them is the Hoosier Cabinet Door Latch and Latch Kit. This one has a brass finish and is 1 ¼ inches wide by 2 inches high and ¾ inches projecting when the lift ring is closed. It’s usually sold by the set, so it’s best to change both the latch and latch if it ever gets damaged. It has one latch and two latches where one latch is used for flush application while the other is for 3/8 inch offset. This type of catch game is used on Hoosier cabinets such as Naponee and Wilson. Mounting hardware is also included in the package.
Another item also being sold is the Hoosier Elevator Style Door Latch. Unlike the other product, this one is finished in nickel with a size of 1 ¼ inches wide, 2 inches high with a ¾ inch projection and is sold separately. This is a ring style lift handle that is applicable to any type of Hoosier cabinet but more particularly to the Sellers and Wilson types. Mounting hardware is also included with the package.
The Hossier Cabinet Door Latch is guaranteed to be highly durable and last longer. It also has the design of elegance but still very functional.
