Emtek 818TPUS15 Modern Thumbturn Privacy Lockset

Product Description

The EMTEK 818TPUS15 is a modern thumbturn privacy lockset finished in satin nickel. It is designed for interior doors where privacy is needed without keyed entry — common applications include bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices. The lockset uses a thumbturn mechanism on the interior side, allowing occupants to secure a space from within while permitting emergency access from the exterior. At 0.9 pounds, the unit is compact and suited for standard residential door prep. Licensed contractors and skilled finish carpenters typically handle installation during new construction or renovation work.

This lockset is intended for interior privacy applications in residential settings. It ships as a single unit and is assembled to order. The satin nickel finish (US15) provides a consistent, low-sheen appearance that coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware. The thumbturn privacy function is appropriate for any interior door requiring occupant-controlled locking without a keyed cylinder.

Installation Notes

Disengage any door latch or strike hardware before beginning removal of an existing lockset. Follow local building codes for hardware requirements in privacy applications such as bathrooms and bedrooms.
