Push for Privacy

KD Basic — by Kärcher Design

Privacy-Pin technology built directly into the lever. Push once to lock. 

No thumb turn. No separate mechanism. No mismatched hardware on the inside face of your bathroom door. 

How It Works

Three Positions. One push.

The Privacy-Pin is built into the lever handle body. Push it to lock. Push again to release. One-handed. Compatible with any standard mortise lock.

①

Unlocked

Normal operation. The handle operates freely from both sides. The Privacy-Pin sits flush in the handle barrel. Invisible at rest.

②

PUSH TO LOCK

Press the Privacy-Pin in the handle body. One push. Outside handle disengages — door cannot be opened from the corridor.

③

PUSH TO RELEASE

Push the handle down. Pin resets. Door returns to normal. Same gesture in both directions — intuitive from the first use.

“The inside face of your bathroom door. Identical to the outside. Because there is nothing extra to add.”

Luxury Bathroom hardware

Every detail 
considered.

Most bathroom doors require a separate thumb-turn rose on the inside face. A second piece of hardware. A different profile. A different finish. A visible afterthought. 

KD Basic eliminates this entirely. Push the Privacy-Pin built into the lever — the door locks from the inside. The inside face of the door is identical to the outside. Nothing added. Nothing compromised. 

Available in Cosmos Black and Satin Stainless Steel. Compatible with any standard mortise lock.
