Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a privacy indicator and how does it work?
The privacy indicator is an external visible feature that shows when the door is locked from the inside using the turn snib. This allows people outside to see occupied/vacant status without attempting to open the door. - Can the levers be installed on either side of the door?
Yes. This is a non-handed configuration, meaning the levers can be reversed by removing the stop screw. This provides installation flexibility for both left-hand and right-hand door applications. - What makes square end plates suitable for retrofit?
Square end plates cover a larger area than round roses, making them ideal for retrofit installations where previous hardware may have left marks or damage on the door surface that needs to be concealed. - Is this a complete privacy lockset or just the door furniture?
This is door furniture only (lever and end plate assembly with privacy turn). It does not include the mortice lock or latch mechanism that provides the actual locking function. - Why is this item non-returnable?
Door furniture components are non-returnable due to compatibility requirements and the need to ensure proper fit with specific lock mechanisms and installation configurations.
Additional Information
- RF800 Series Integration:
Part of the comprehensive RF800 Series door furniture range, allowing coordinated aesthetic appearance across multiple door types and functions within the same building or facility. - Privacy Turn Function:
The oval turn snib allows interior occupants to lock the door for privacy. The external indicator provides visual confirmation of occupied status, essential for bathroom and changing room applications. - DDA Compliance Application:
The 70 lever design meets DDA requirements for accessible door hardware, assisting users with limited grip strength or dexterity. This makes it suitable for public and commercial facilities requiring compliance with accessibility standards. - Non-Handed Installation Advantage:
The ability to reverse lever orientation by removing the stop screw simplifies inventory management and provides installation flexibility without requiring separate left-hand and right-hand versions. - Through-Fixing Security:
Back-to-back through fixing with M4 screws provides secure mounting that resists tampering and ensures long-term stability in high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. - Retrofit Suitability:
Square end plate design is particularly effective in retrofit situations where existing door preparation or previous hardware installation has left visible marks requiring larger coverage area. - Finish Maintenance:
Satin Chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and durability. Clean with soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish surface.
