Frequently asked questions
What is a door thumb turn with indicator?
A thumb turn with indicator is a privacy lock that shows occupancy status on the exterior side — typically red for occupied, white for vacant — operated by the standard thumb turn on the interior.
Where are these typically installed?
Thumb turns with indicators are typically installed on shared bathrooms, commercial restrooms, hospitality bathrooms, and any privacy door where occupancy status should be visible without testing the door.
How does the occupancy indicator work?
The indicator displays through a small window on the exterior face. The colour rotates automatically when the thumb turn is engaged on the interior side. Most models include an emergency release accessible from the exterior.
How does a thumb turn with indicator match the broader door hardware?
Casson Hardware coordinates thumb turn with indicator finishes with door levers, knobs, and escutcheons so commercial and hospitality privacy doors can be specified in one matched finish.
Where can I buy thumb turns with indicators in Canada?
Casson Hardware carries a curated selection of door thumb turns with occupancy indicators, available to order online at cassonhardware.com or in person by appointment at our Toronto showroom.
