Internal privacy door - an internal hinged door that is locked with a thumb turn & emergency release.
External door - a door to the outside that is locked with a key.
Latch - the mechanism that holds the door closed.
Mortice latch - a latch installed in a rectangular hole in the door edge.
Lock - a lockable latch.

Door Knob Styles

Door knobs are a great option for older period properties as the door knob has been around much longer than lever handles. For enhanced grip and leverage, opt for an oval shaped knob.

Specifying Door Knobs

There are many factors to consider when specifying your chosen door knob and latch: How thick is the door? How far from the door edge should the door knob sit? Should I choose door knobs or lever handles? Our friendly team are here to guide you through and have a wealth of expert hardware knowledge and advice to offer.
