What type of door lock is best for each room in your home?

Privacy? Passage? Bed & Bath? Hall & Closet? What does it all mean? Deciding which type of door lock you should purchase for each room in your home doesn’t have to be a major chore. Here’s a quick guide that will help you navigate the lock aisle (or online store) and find the right knob or lever function.

COMBINED INTERIOR

This one is unique to DJ hardware. When you choose door lock, you have the ability to switch between the hall and closet function and the bed and bath function without changing out the entire lock. Combined interior hardware is ideal for multipurpose rooms that may require greater privacy at certain times and not at others. Many homeowners in their forever homes also prefer combined interior because it allows their hardware to grow with their family, going from non-locking on a child’s bedroom when they’re a toddler to locking when they’re older, for example.
