How to choose the right Lock & Indicator Set

A lock and indicator set does two jobs at once, it locks the cubicle door and shows vacant or engaged on the outside so people don't need to try the handle. Start by confirming which facility the set is for, standard cubicle, accessible, or ambulant, since this collection includes lock sets built specifically for ambulant cubicles alongside the standard range. For accessible facilities, consider an emergency release set, which can be opened from outside in an emergency even while the indicator shows engaged, this is a common specification where staff may need to assist someone in difficulty.

Match the series to your hinges, bumper and coat hook wherever possible, Moda, Xcel and Sera are among the ranges stocked here, and keeping the same series across a cubicle means fixing centres and finish line up without extra work. Finish should suit the rest of your washroom hardware, satin chrome plate and stainless steel are the most common choices, with anti-microbial finishes worth considering for healthcare, education or hospitality projects where frequently touched hardware is a hygiene priority.
