Full details
The Securit Privacy Door Knob Set is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add security and a touch of warmth to bathroom or bedroom doors. Its primary benefit is the integrated twist-turn locking system, which eliminates the need for separate thumbturns while providing an emergency override for safety; however, users should note that this model is specifically designed for interior doors and is not suitable for exterior home entryways due to its privacy-level security rating.

FAQs
Can I use this for an exterior front door?
No, this is a privacy set intended for interior use only and does not provide the security required for exterior home entry.
Does it come with keys?
No, this is a privacy lock, not a keyed lock. It features an emergency slot on the outside that can be opened with a flat-blade tool.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a screwdriver and a tape measure to confirm backset requirements.
Is the bronze finish durable?
The finish is designed for residential interior wear. With proper care using only a soft cloth, it will maintain its appearance.
Can I adjust the backset after it is installed?
The backset must be configured before the latch is fully secured into the door.
Troubleshooting
The latch is difficult to engage or retract.
Check that the latch is properly aligned with the strike plate and that the door is not sagging, which could be creating friction.
The lock feels stiff or does not turn smoothly.
Ensure the spindle is centered correctly and that the screws holding the knobs are not overtightened, which can bind the internal mechanism.
The knob feels loose on the door.
Tighten the front-fix screws on the rose plates to ensure a snug fit against the door surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Securit Privacy Door Knob Set is designed for a standard front-fix approach. Before installation, confirm your door thickness and ensure the bore hole is aligned with the chosen backset length. To switch between the 60mm and 70mm settings, adjust the latch mechanism as indicated in the included instructions before inserting it into the door edge. Regarding compatibility, this set fits standard residential interior doors with modern bore preparations. To keep the bronze finish in top condition, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Periodically checking the fixing screws for tightness will ensure the handles remain sturdy over years of use.
