Privacy Door Levers provide simple, reliable inside locking for bedrooms,
bathrooms, guest rooms, and home offices. They use a thumb-turn or push-button on the
interior side — so there’s no key needed — making them convenient for daily use while
still giving you the privacy you want.
On the exterior side, most privacy levers include an emergency release feature
(often a small pinhole or slotted release) for safety and easy access if a door is
accidentally locked.
Our collection includes privacy levers in popular finishes such as Matte Black, Satin Nickel (Brushed Nickel), Satin Brass (Brushed Brass), Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and more — so you can match
your home’s style from modern to traditional.
These lever sets are designed to fit standard residential doors and use common latch hardware,
making installation straightforward. For a cohesive look, pair privacy levers with matching
hinges, deadbolts (where needed), and other door accessories.
