I am going to fit a new handle and lock to my bathroom door.
I have been looking at this one .
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...46134&ts=67284

I had thought that these needed a lock as well like this

http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...99818&ts=67440

but when visiting a friend recently in a new build I looked at her bathroom door
lock and it seemed that it was using a handle similar to the first one above
with just a latch like
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...67549&id=12781

Presumably these privacy handles lock the handle mechanism when you turn the
lock .Is that correct so all I need are the first and third ones listed above ?

Yes.

I've just done exactly that. The handle has a mechanism in so that the
turning thing jams the handle and stops the door opening.

Interesting. I was going to buy new a lock (99818 as above) to go with this:

Anyone know if the same applies?

My experience of these from the sheds is that they are crap and usually
unlock by just turning the handle.

just be careful that the 2 year old does not lock themselves in - talking
them into unlocking it while they panic and scream is not easy!

The message

I got our locks from Wilkinsons - there's a mechanism similar to 99818 ,
and about the same price.

The faceplate/handle/lockturn looks very similar to the 46134 and
there's two square rods supplied, one for the latch, one for the lock.

Whichever you settle for, they're well worth having. From time to time
accidents do happen in bathrooms and being able to open the door without
fuss is great, particularly if it's a small that's locked itself in and
is now in a panic.

They have a facilty on the outside of the door for others to unlock it
....normally by use of a coin or similar .

I would only consider a system that can be unlocked from the outside in
an emergency. As posted getting little ones to unlock a door when they
have locked themselves in is near impossible. This happened to me on
the day we were moving house. I had to go and borrow a ladder, break
the window and squeeze myself in to let my daughter out. I now install
the type that lock separately with a slot on the outside so that a coin
or screwdriver can be used to unlock it.

What's wrong with just fitting a normal sliding bolt?
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...76742&id=45920

fit it about 5ft up to avoid toddlers getting locked in

The lock looks better,There are NO toddlers and anyway what's 5 ft to a toddler
when the bath is right next to the door .

Well excuse me for not wearing my psychic hat!

Anyway, what's the deal with all these bathroom locks, surely we only need a
'semblance' of a lock, I don't think anyone is going to try to kick the door
in while a dump is being taken, they try the door, it doesn't open
immediately, I think they can work the rest out for themselves....or they
/should/ be able to.

What's a semblance of a lock ?? Either the door is locked or it isn't .

As for the facilty to open it from the outside .Well we have already mentioned
kds but there's also the case of someone collapsing in the loo and others being
able to get the door open from outside .

Thanks - I'll have to look for something else. The children would just pull
down on the handle harder if they find it doesn't move. It'd break one day.

Hey, great concept! I guess it works like this: 1) You tell the children
something 2) They follow your instructions for the rest of their lives!
Superb, I hadn't thought of that. I'll make a note of it and try it out ;-)
