Overview
Kwikset's Tylo privacy knob, model 93001-870, pairs a polished brass finish with a turn-button lock on the inside and an emergency release tool for the outside, built for bathroom and bedroom doors that need to lock without a key.
Tylo is Kwikset's rounded, traditional-style knob, sold here in the privacy function: lock it from inside with the turn button, and if someone gets locked in or out, the included release tool opens it from the outside. That emergency release is worth knowing about before buying, since not every privacy knob includes one.
- Model 93001-870, polished brass finish
- Turn-button privacy lock with outside release tool
- BHMA Grade-3 certified
- Kwikset lifetime mechanical and finish warranty
Who it's for
Fits bathrooms and bedrooms where households want a lock that a small child or a jammed door will not trap someone behind. Less relevant for anyone wanting a satin or black finish, this ships in polished brass only.
