Here is a quick comparison to help you visualize the differences:

What is the Difference Between Privacy and Passage Functions?

When shopping for an interior door lock, you will see terms like "Privacy," "Passage," and "Dummy." Choosing the wrong function is the most common mistake buyers make.

Passage sets do not lock. They are designed simply to hold the door closed and are typically used for hallways, closets, or laundry rooms where privacy isn't a concern.

Privacy sets, on the other hand, are designed specifically for bedrooms and bathrooms. They can be locked from the inside (usually via a thumb turn or push button) to ensure privacy. Crucially, they usually feature an emergency release hole on the outside. This allows you to unlock the door from the hallway using a small pin or coin in case of an emergency—a vital feature for homes with children or elderly residents.

How Do You Ensure the Lock Fits Your Door?

Before you purchase a new lock, you need to measure your door. There are two critical measurements to keep in mind to ensure your new hardware fits perfectly.

The Backset

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole (where the handle sits). In the US, the standard backsets are usually 2-3/8 inches (60mm) or 2-3/4 inches (70mm). Many modern latch bolts, including those from Toptek, are adjustable to fit either size, which simplifies the installation process significantly.

Door Thickness

Most interior residential doors are between 1-3/8 inches and 1-3/4 inches thick. Commercial doors or solid wood custom doors may be thicker. Always check the specifications of the lock to ensure it is compatible with your door's thickness.

Why Should You Consider Quality Manufacturing?

It is tempting to pick the cheapest lock on the shelf, but hardware is something you touch and use every single day. A flimsy lock that rattles or sticks can be a daily annoyance.

This is where sourcing from established manufacturers makes a difference. Zhongshan Toptek Security Technology Co., Ltd., for instance, has been a player in the hardware industry for over 30 years. With a 15,000-square-meter factory and certifications including UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CE (Conformité Européenne), they produce hardware that meets rigorous international standards.

Whether you need an ANSI commercial mortise lock for a heavy solid-core bedroom door or a sleek European commercial lock for a modern apartment, choosing a manufacturer with a reputation for durability ensures your locks won't fail after a few months of use. Their diverse product lines, ranging from electric strikes to timber multipoint door locks, demonstrate a depth of expertise that generic brands often lack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install a keyed entry lock on my bedroom door?

Yes, you can. If you have roommates or want to secure a room when you leave the house, a keyed entry lock (typically used for exterior doors) is a great solution. Just remember that you will need to carry a key to get back in.

How do I maintain my bedroom door locks?

Maintenance is simple. Tighten the screws on the faceplate and handle every year, as they can loosen with use. If the latch sticks, use a small amount of graphite lubricant or silicone spray. Avoid using oil-based lubricants like WD-40, as they can attract dust and gum up the internal mechanism over time.

Are mortise locks worth the extra cost for a bedroom?

If you have solid wood doors and value a high-end aesthetic and sound-dampening closure, yes. Mortise locks feel heavier and smoother than tubular locks. However, they are more difficult to install, so you may need to hire a carpenter if your door isn't already prepped for one.

Securing Your Sanctuary

Selecting the right bedroom door lock is about more than just a latch mechanism; it is about defining the boundaries of your personal space. Whether you opt for a standard privacy knob, a heavy-duty lever for a home office, or a high-tech smart lock solution, the hardware you choose contributes to the safety and style of your home.

By focusing on quality manufacturers like Zhongshan Toptek Security Technology Co., Ltd. and understanding the specific needs of your household, you can find a solution that offers peace of mind every time you close the door.
