Honeywell LC2X701B Privacy Door Lever Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The HONEYWELL LC2X701B is a steel construction privacy door lever in an oil rubbed bronze finish, designed for interior residential door applications requiring a turn-button privacy lock. The lever features a wave-style design and reversible handing, making it compatible with both right-hand and left-hand door swings without purchasing a separate unit. It includes an adjustable round corner mortise latch with strike plate, accommodating backset dimensions of 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches. The unit fits door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inches or 1-3/4 inches, covering the most common residential interior door stock sizes encountered in the field.

This privacy lever is suited for installation on interior doors where one-sided locking is required, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, and similar residential spaces. The turn-button mechanism on the interior side allows occupants to engage the lock without a keyed cylinder. The adjustable latch backset and dual door-thickness compatibility reduce the need for multiple SKUs on a typical residential project, simplifying inventory for installers handling multiple door rough openings in a single job.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer using a drill, hole saw, and chisel for the latch mortise. Verify door hand orientation before installation, though the reversible latch eliminates most handing concerns. Confirm backset measurement from the door edge to the center of the bore hole before setting the latch. No electrical disconnect or specialty tools are required for this hardware installation.
