Gloucester Shaped Lever Polished Chrome Bathroom Handles

Bathroom locking handles are used in conjunction with a bathroom mortice lock, which is usually 2.1/2in (64mm) or 3in (75mm) wide and consists of a latch and a deadbolt. On the handle fitted to the inside face of the door there is a button which when turned, operates the deadbolt on the bathroom mortice lock. On the handle fitted to the outside face of the door there is an emergency release slot, usually operated by a coin or screwdriver, which can be used to unlock the door in an emergency. The turn button and the emergency release are connected by use of a smaller 5mm spindle, which passes through the bathroom lock. The handles are supplied complete with both required spindles and fixing screws, but not with the bathroom lock, which needs to be purchased as a separate item, and is normally specified to have a matching finish to the handles.
