Door Handle Lock Guide: Lever, Knob and Round Sets, Mortise and Tubular Types, Privacy and Entrance Functions, Handing, Backset, Finishes, Indicative Rates, Fitting and Fixes for Sticking Handles in Pakistan
A door handle lock combines a handle with a latch and often a key lock, and the right set depends on the door and the room: entrance, bedroom, bathroom or office. Prices run from about PKR 800 for a basic round set to PKR 15,000 for good mortise handle sets. This page covers lever, knob and round sets, mortise and tubular types, functions, handing, backset, finishes, rates, fitting and fixes. It also answers round door lock and handle lock price searches. For related pages see door handles, main door handle and bathroom door locks.
Lever, knob and round sets
Lever handles are easier to use and suit modern doors, knobs are traditional and round sets are cylindrical lock sets with a knob, common on budget doors. Levers are better for children, older people and anyone with weak grip.

Mortise and tubular types
Tubular sets fit a round hole and a simple cut-out and suit light interior doors. Mortise sets sit in a rectangular pocket and are stronger, longer lasting and suit main and heavy doors. See main door handle.
Functions
Entrance sets lock with a key, bedroom sets lock from inside, bathroom privacy sets lock with a thumb turn and release with a coin, and passage sets have no lock. Choose the function for the room.
Handing and backset
Some levers are handed, so check whether you need left or right. Backset, the distance from door edge to centre of the hole, is usually 60 or 70 mm. Measure before ordering.
Finishes and care
Brushed steel, brass, black and antique finishes suit different doors. Choose solid parts over thin plating, and clean with a damp cloth. Lubricate latches lightly each year.
Fitting and fixes
A sticking handle usually means loose screws, a misaligned strike or a worn spring. Tighten, align and lubricate before replacing. Fitting should be done by a trained locksmith or carpenter, and the door, frame and hinges checked for fit and strength first.
Before you decide
Measure the door and backset, choose the function for the room and prefer solid construction. Compare at least two quotes on the same specification, keep the invoice and warranty card, ask for the model name and material in writing and test the product on your own door or in your own room before paying in full. Keep a spare key, card or code record in a safe place, and ask the seller what happens if the item fails within the warranty period. Photographs of the delivered item and its packaging make any claim much simpler later. Prices change with exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
