ASEC Privacy Door Knobset

This privacy door knob set is ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms as it offers a convenient thumbturn snib on the inside to allow you to lock the door for privacy, whilst featuring an emergency override slot on the outside for safety purposes.  This means you wont be able to freely open the door from outside when someone has locked the door from inside, but in the event of an emergency, should you need to gain entry you can do so using the tool provided (or by using a coin, flat blade screwdriver or butter knife etc)

While these are predominantly used on bathroom doors, many homes also choose to use these on bedroom doors, particularly for children's bedrooms, as this allows them to have some privacy without you having to worry about the consequences of a locked door - as using the tool you'd always be able to gain entry if you had concerns for their safety.

Supplied with variable backset latches which can be adjusted to either 60mm or 70mm backset (measured from the door edge to the centre of the handle), these are designed to suit most existing holes from previous latch installations.  Even if you do have to elongate the hole in the door from a 65mm backset to the new 60mm or 70mm setting, this should not pose a problem as the fixing rosette would cover this up anyway. 

Complete with all its fixings, all you need to worry about is the finish you'd like, and don't forget we also do matching passage knobs (non-locking), as well as key-lockable 'entrance' versions for doors you want to secure via key (with a thumbturn inside) such as your porch door, home office, or your own private rooms.
