Stamped Brass New York Privacy Back Plate With Thumb Turn

Very prompt delivery and a perfect match to the 97 year old hardware. Thanks!

I remodeled the bathroom, and needed the inside place to match the chrome inside. This was a great find.

For our new powder room in our old house, we wanted an easy-to-use privacy lock BUT with a vintage look. In our upstairs bath we have an old skeleton key in the mortise lockset, but we wanted something more convenient and intuitive for guests. Adding the thumb turn was the perfect solution - guests will know what to do, and we get to use the old-style knob and backplates that we wanted. BUT... wish we'd known that we need a particular kind of mortise lockset, not just the standard kind. Standard doesn't allow you to use the emergency release from the outside. If you have kids you need that! We had to replace the mortise lockset with one that allowed an outside release.

Completes the door and makes it stand out.

had to replace old ones after 20 tears of use got tarnish. Solid material but living near salt water takes a toll on how they look

This door plate was used to replace a plain door plate with just a keyhole. It was put on a bathroom door which had not had a way of locking the door for over thirty years because there was no thumb turn. This plate worked well except that the spindel on the thumb turn was too long and I had to measure the thickness of the door and cut the spindel so that the door plate would fit flush with the door. It now works great, and people don't have to worry about someone walking in on them.

The Thumb Turn for the privacy lock works well and is an excellent replacement for my old lock set with a skeleton key. The thumb turn needs to be re-engineered, it can't be made to be vertical when in an un-locked position. However I have been looking for a quality replacement for years and I have found it here.

worked perfectly with the existing lock mechanism.

Needed a vintage looking mortise lock for an interior door. This works perfectly, looks great, and you can tell will last a lifetime.
