Bathroom Door Locks: Privacy and Thumb-Turn Types, Rust-Resistant Materials, Emergency Release and Fitting
Bathroom door locks give privacy rather than high security, and they must survive damp air and steam without rusting or jamming. The common choices are privacy latches with a thumb turn inside and an emergency release outside, in stainless steel or coated zinc. They suit PVC, wooden and aluminium bathroom doors if the fitting is right. This guide covers types, materials, release, fitting and indicative prices. See also bathroom doors.
Privacy and thumb-turn locks
A thumb turn locks from inside, and a small slot or release opens it from outside in an emergency.
Materials
Choose stainless steel, brass or coated zinc that resists rust in steam. Avoid thin plated steel.
Door types
PVC, wooden and aluminium bathroom doors need different sets. See PVC doors and bathroom doors.

Check the door thickness and cut-outs. Fit a strong latch and keep it dry.
