We have decided to replace our bathroom door handle so we chose a specific bathroom handle. We were assuming that this handle would work like our previous handle and that twisting the thumb turn would prevent the handle being pressed therefore locking the door. This isn't the case! Do we have to buy and fit a separate mortice lock or can we get some form of plate/cam to fit inside the handle that will prevent the handle turning.? We don't want to make an extra hole in the door so really wanted something that worked like our previous handle. I have searched the internet but cannot even find other handles that work in this way! Any advice would be much appreciated!
