Bathroom Lock Types

Detailed Guide to Mortice Bathroom Locks and Tubular Deadbolts

Mortice bathroom locks are fitted inside the door edge and combine a latch and a bolt. Operated by a lever handle (8mm spindle) and a thumbturn (5mm spindle), they include an emergency release on the outside for safety. They work perfectly with bathroom handles on backplates.

Tubular deadbolts are compact, round-case locking units without a latch, often used with door handles on a rose and a bathroom thumb turn. They’re quick to install, align neatly beneath a tubular latch, and are popular for modern bathroom layouts.

Both types are designed for internal timber doors and provide privacy for bathrooms, en-suites, and WCs, rather than external security. They’re available in finishes to match your door furniture and other architectural ironmongery.

For oval profile versions, see our oval profile escutcheons and oval profile lock handles for a coordinated look.

Choosing the Right Option

How to Select a Bathroom Lock for Your Timber Door

If your bathroom door uses handles on a backplate, a mortice bathroom lock is the standard choice. It offers a smooth handle action plus a secure bolt for privacy.

If your handles are on a rose, a tubular deadbolt with a separate thumbturn provides a clean, modern look.

We work with leading brands such as From The Anvil, Carlisle Brass, Heritage Brass, and Frelan Hardware to ensure lasting performance and style.
