You'd need a modernization kit or mag plate. some home owners can do this,
but it may be "call a locksmith" time.

The doors on our bathrooms have nice mortise locks with holes for
"skelaton keys". Of course, the keys are long gone

Since this is a bathroom, I would like to replace the key access with
a knob on the inside (and perhaps just an allen key hole on the outside
for access in emergencies). i.e. I would like to use the original
mortise box but now have it activated by turning a knob rather than
inserting a skelaton key.

Is it DIY practical to convert a skelaton key mechanism to a turn knob?
If so, where can one find the knob.

Thanks,
Jeff
