Privacy Indicator Lock and Lever, Large Grade 2 Commercial Door Handle, Bathroom Door Handle Perfect for Public restrooms Including Restaurants, Hospitals, Medical Offices, Satin Chrome

I bought these a while back and they still work greatCustomers love it

These commercial size locking door handles were what I needed to replace broken door handles in the bathrooms of three of the restaurant locations I work for. As these are for commercial uses, they will not fit in the typical residential usage which is good to keep in mind if you want to use them that way. As I have a few more locations that I need to replace the handles in, hopefully the longevity will be good for these items.

The product was not as anticipated. My husband got locked inside because the handle would open and operate correctly. A total mess!!

To dispel misinformation from other reviews you may be reading, this door handle IS REVERSABLE, so it can be used on both left-handed and right-handed doors. I had to reverse the handle in my case. The instructions that come with it show you how to reverse it.The instructions say you can install this door handle on doors that are 1 3/8" to 2" thick. This is true, but there's a catch. If you have a door that is less than 2" thick, you may have to trim the stem like I did (3rd attached pic with red circle) to have it work properly. The door I installed mine on is 1 3/8" thick, and the stem was too long, so it prevented the internal handle from locking/clicking into place, causing some of the issues you may have read from other reviews:- The handle kept getting locked by itself when turning the handle- The "vacant" and "in-use" doesn’t line up properly- The indicator also refused to turn all the way when it was reversed, getting stuck halfway between the two settingsI ran into these same issues when installing it. Initially, I had to hammer the internal handle to get it to lock/click into place so that when you pull the internal handle, it doesn't slide off. What this did, in my case, was the stem was pushing against the locking switch, making it hard to turn the locking switch to try to lock the door, in addition to the above listed issues. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the stem was too long, so I cut it down to size by a few centimeters using an oscillating saw. You can also try to file or sand it down using whatever tools you have available.Once the stem was trimmed down a bit so that it doesn't push against the locking switch in the internal handle, it worked like a charm, and I currently have no issues. I hope this helps other when they try to install theirs.

We need 2- replacement locks they both broke

I installed this handle relatively easily, then opened the door and realized the indicator was upside down on the other side. Oops! I disassembled it, flipped around the handle (tricky, as the emergency release button doesn't like to stay put as you fit the handle back on), and re-installed it the right way up this time. As another reviewer noted, when the indicator handle is to the left, the lock twist on the inside is vertical when it is unlocked. Most people would be used to vertical being locked, which would cause confusion.Then I discovered that the handle will turn, retracting the latch, which gets stuck inside the door and will not come back out. I worked on this thing for around three hours, pulling apart the pieces, shaving the door holes down, tweaking the angles that the handle were at, even trying to gently bend the cylinder housing to get it more straight (came bent ever so slightly from the factory) so the darn thing would stop sticking. The indicator also refused to turn all the way when it was reversed, getting stuck halfway between the two settings as its furthest locking point, which I also tried to fix each time I had to take it apart again.No luck on either front. Eventually I gave up and installed it with the indicator upside down again. Everything worked like a charm. No sticking latch, and the indicator turned fully back and forth. Clearly this thing is not as reversible as they're making it out to be, which is frustrating.This is for home use in a bathroom/laundry room with doors to different bedrooms on either side, so I can make it work. If this was for a business, however, it would not be suitable on a door that opened to the left, even if it DID function properly, given that the lock knob looks locked when it isn't. If you have a right-handed door this will work fine.
