Black Thumb Turn and Release

Black thumb turns are one of the most versatile choices for bathroom hardware. Their clean, bold look makes them perfect for both high-contrast modern interiors and rustic spaces with dark metalwork or vintage wood finishes. Whether you’re styling a loft conversion or a period cottage, black hardware helps tie the look together.

All sets in this collection feature a simple locking mechanism via a thumb turn, with external emergency access provided by a release slot. These features make them a secure and user-friendly option for bathrooms used by families, guests, or tenants.

They are designed to be installed alongside a tubular deadbolt or mortice bathroom lock, with most using a 5mm spindle. Common lock sizes are 64mm (2.5") or 76mm (3"), depending on the door thickness and how far you want the handle set from the edge of the door.

We also offer black finishes in smooth matte, textured, and powder-coated styles. Some are available with enlarged turns or ergonomic shapes for easier handling.
