Bathroom Turns

Bathroom turn and release sets let you lock a bathroom or WC door from the inside, with an emergency release on the outside — available as round-rose, square-rose and knurled thumbturn styles. Pair them with bathroom handles on a backplate or your existing door knobs.

Bathroom turn and release buying guide

How does a bathroom turn and release work?

The inside thumbturn throws a bolt to lock the door, while a coin-slot or emergency release on the outside lets you open it from the other side if someone needs help. It suits bathrooms, WCs and ensuites where a keyed lock isn't wanted.

What size rose do I need?

Turns come on round or square roses, usually around 50–52mm, designed to match the rose on your lever or knob. Check the fixing centres and follower so the turn matches your existing bathroom lock or rack bolt.

Which finish should I choose?

Pick a finish that coordinates with your handles — polished chrome, satin nickel, matt black, antique brass and more. Buying turns and handles in the same range keeps the look consistent.

Can I use one on any door?

A turn and release pairs with a bathroom mortice lock or a rack bolt. Make sure your door is bored to suit the follower spindle and backset before fitting.
