How to fix privacy door handle?

HI, does anyone know what type of handle this is? the locking tab at the bottom isnt working, so would like to try and fix it. Would appreciate if someone can guide me to the model, video, manual etc of how to install this kind of handle.

Re: How to fix privacy door handle?

Hello @joshuadj 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your privacy handle.

 

I'm sorry but I could not identify the make and model of this privacy door lever. Generally speaking, when locking mechanism fails it is either a broken or worn-out piece deep inside the mechanism of the door lever. Spare part availability would be extremely difficult if not impossible to source. It would in theory be cheaper to replace the entire unit. A good example is the Ikonic Brushed Nickel Norr Privacy Lever Set. There are many other choices, but if you are after a budget set this is where you would start.

 

I also suggest checking the stores Door Lock Installation Service. This will save you time, especially if you are looking for a professional to install your privacy door lever. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
