Bedroom Lock Sets

A bedroom lock set gives a bedroom door privacy plus the option of a key, which is what lodgers, HMOs, guest rooms and home offices usually need. The set bundles the handles, the lock and the fixings in one finish so the parts are guaranteed to line up.

Bedroom, bathroom or latch?

A bedroom set is keyed. A bathroom set uses a thumb turn with an emergency coin release instead, because a bathroom door must always be openable from outside, so the two are not interchangeable, see bathroom door handle sets. An ordinary room needs neither and takes a plain latch pack from handle packs.

The individual components are in sash locks, dead locks and locks and latches. Choose the handle style in door handles or door knobs.

What a bedroom set is for

A bedroom lock set is a privacy set for a room that needs to be lockable from the inside without becoming a security door. Typically it pairs a lever or knob with a mortice lock and either a keyed cylinder or a thumbturn with an outside emergency release, so the room can be secured for privacy but still opened from the landing if required. In guest houses, HMOs and shared accommodation it is the standard specification for a bedroom door.

Choosing between keyed and thumbturn

A keyed set suits rented and shared property where the occupant needs to lock the room and carry a key. A thumbturn with emergency release suits family homes, where the point is privacy rather than security and nobody wants another key. Whichever you choose, confirm the lock centres match the turn or cylinder before ordering, and check the case depth against the door edge on a narrow stile.

Finishes, brands and the rest of the door

Sets here come from Deanta and our own Doors2Floors range in finishes that match the levers, so the same family can run through the whole first floor. Keep the ironmongery consistent by pairing with the matching door handles, hinges and escutcheons. For a bathroom on the same landing use a bathroom door handle set instead, since the function differs. Quieter closing is possible with a magnetic latch, and the wider range is in locks and latches.
