Bathroom Door Hardware: What a Toilet or Bathroom Door Needs

Updated 2026-11-09 · RAYEN 雷茵

What does a bathroom door need?

Go through the door from the inside out.

• A privacy lock or indicator, turned from inside, with an emergency release outside.
• A lever or pull that matches the rest of the building.
• Hinges suited to the door's weight and the room's humidity.
• A stop, so the handle does not strike tiled walls.
• On the back of the door, a robe hook.
• On the outside, a sign where the room is public.

Which lock or indicator?

It depends on the door.

• Hotel, office or home door with a mortise lock: PRE_W173, a stainless rose set on Ø35mm roses, 6mm thick, with a 22.5mm projection, in Satin stainless or Matt black. It sits under the lever and matches the other doors.
• Cubicle or partition door with no lock case: D3872 CP, a surface bolt, 66 × 40.8mm, with a 42 × 62mm indicator plate, in Brushed Nickel or Polished Chrome.
• Replacing a turn on an existing lock: the TT thumb turns, such as TT003 with a red window.

Our occupancy indicator guide covers each in detail. For the lever, start from lever on rose or backplate.

Which door stop for a tiled bathroom?

A handle striking a tiled wall chips the tile, and tile is hard to replace. Fit a stop. A low floor stop suits a bathroom where people walk barefoot and the floor is easy to clean around. 274 is a dome 45 × 26mm and only 23mm high, in Brushed Nickel, Matt Black or Space Grey. If the floor cannot be drilled, see the wall and door-mounted options in door stopper types.

Which robe hook for the back of the door?

HG1 is 88mm high and stands 101mm off the door, fixing at P=35mm on a 41mm base. In Satin stainless or White. Check that the door, with a robe on the hook, still opens fully without the robe touching the wall. Our roll holder and hook guide has the other hooks.

Which sign?

Public toilets need a sign on the door. Our stainless signs include SP011 for WC and SP012 with the wheelchair symbol, among round, square and cut-out shapes. Sizes come on the drawing; see door sign plates.

What about accessible toilets?

Accessible toilets usually have their own rules for the lock, the turn, the door hardware and the grab bars. They differ by country and building type, so check your local rules first and read them against our drawings. For grab bars, see flip-up grab bar sizes and grab bar wall fixing.

A worked example

A hotel with timber room doors, mortise locks and Matt black levers. Each bathroom door gets PRE_W173 in Matt black under the lever, a dome stop 274 in Matt Black on the tiled floor, and HG1 on the back of the door. The schedule lists the set once and points every bathroom door to it; see how to write a door hardware schedule.
