Hardware - especially iron hardware was mostly forged by hand by the local smith, but large projects required a forge to be built at the construction site. Each craftsman had their own characteristic style of forging - many times these styles progressed in a vernacular fashion - being handed down from father to son. Tudor manor doors many times had elaborate strap hinges that were both decorative and functional. These hinges were functional in that they provided extra strength across the door to support the massive weight of these heavy, many times oak, doors. For this reason, the strap hinge normally extends across most (or all) of the width of the door. A latch and door ring combination was the normal lockset of the Tudor times. New home Tudor architecture requires a significant amount of forged iron on windows and doors.
