Here’s a detailed guide to the essential hardware components: hinges, turn and release mechanisms and bathroom contract locks. ### Hinges Hinges are fundamental to the operation of any door, including bathroom doors. For bathrooms, you’ll need hinges that provide smooth operation, durability in a humid environment, and aesthetic appeal. #### Types of Hinges Suitable for Bathroom Doors: 1. **Butt Hinges**: The most common type, providing reliable performance for bathroom doors. - **Material**: Stainless steel or brass to resist moisture and corrosion. 1. **Ball-Bearing Hinges**: These offer smoother operation and are more durable, ideal for heavier bathroom doors. 1. **Material**: Stainless steel or brass. 2. **Size**: Typically available in similar sizes to butt hinges (62mm, 76mm, 102mm). 3. **BSEN 1935:** It is vital to consider your door weight before purchasing either type of hinge. - For doors weighing up to 40kg, we recommend using 3 Grade 7 hinges. - For doors weighing up to 80kg, we recommend using 3 Grade 11 hinges. - For doors weighing up to 120kg, we recommend using 3 Grade 13 hinges.

This mechanism typically includes an emergency release feature from the outside. #### Key Features: 1. **Ease of Use**: Should be easy to turn from the inside and release from the outside in an emergency, most people opt for comfortable thumb turns. 2. **Design**: Match the finish and style of other door hardware (antique brass, gold, black & more). 3. **Installation**: Ensure compatibility with your bathroom lock and door thickness. ![JV855](https://blog.frelanhardware.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/JV855.jpg?width=511&height=511&name=JV855.jpg) [Jedo Bari Lever on Rose - JV850SB](https://www.frelanhardware.co.uk/ProductGrp/bari-lever/JV850SB) [![IMG_6751 Michael Cutbill](https://blog.frelanhardware.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6751%20Michael%20Cutbill.jpeg?width=512&height=910&name=IMG_6751%20Michael%20Cutbill.jpeg)](https://www.frelanhardware.co.uk/ProductGrp/JV855/JV855SB) [Jedo Bari Turn and Release JV855SB](https://www.frelanhardware.co.uk/ProductGrp/JV855/JV855SB)   ### Bathroom Locks Bathroom contract locks are specially designed for bathroom doors. They combine a latch that can be operated by the handle or with a lock operated by a turn and release mechanism. Something to consider is your door design [![jl450ab](https://blog.frelanhardware.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/jl450ab.jpg?width=550&height=550&name=jl450ab.jpg)](https://www.frelanhardware.co.uk/ProductGrp/bathroom-locks-with-square-forend--radiused-strike-plate/JL450AB)[Bathroom Lock in Antique Brass - JL460AB](https://www.frelanhardware.co.uk/ProductGrp/bathroom-locks-with-square-forend--radiused-strike-plate/JL460AB)   If the surface of your door has any grooves or details you may need to measure the backset distance to ensure that the handle fits correctly in the door and doesn't overlap.   ![Screenshot 2024-08-01 at 16.33.29](https://blog.frelanhardware.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-01%20at%2016.33.29.png?width=294&height=624&name=Screenshot%202024-08-01%20at%2016.33.29.png) #### Components: 1. **Latch**: Operated by the door handle, allowing the door to be opened and closed. 2. **Lock**: Operated by a turn and release mechanism, providing privacy when needed. #### Features to Consider: 1. **Material**: Stainless steel or brass to resist moisture and corrosion. 2. **Backset**: Common backset sizes are 64mm, 76mm, and 102mm. Ensure the backset matches the latch size. 3. **Compatibility**: Ensure the lockset works with your chosen handle or knob and turn and release mechanism. 4. **Standard Bathroom Lock**: Ideal for residential use, offering a range of styles and a cost-effective solution for providing privacy in bathrooms. 5. **DIN Bathroom Lock**: Suitable for commercial and public settings where higher durability, reliability, and compliance with international standards are necessary. DIN Locks can be used for aesthetics on luxury doors (see below), this is shown with an escutcheon and keyhole. ![DOOR-KNOB-4](https://blog.frelanhardware.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/DOOR-KNOB-4.jpg?width=1000&height=1000&name=DOOR-KNOB-4.jpg)  #### Lever on Rose or Back Plate 1. 1. **Purpose:** These are the handles that allow you to open and close the door. 2. **Choices:** We stock handle choices encompassing a variety of styles for all budgets, Bari (JV850MB) from our Jedo range is a popular medium-budget choice.
