Why Interior Door Locks Matter

Interior locks are often overlooked, but they offer:

Privacy
For bedrooms, bathrooms, and guest spaces

Safety
For home offices or rooms where valuables or documents are stored

Access control
For households with kids, roommates, or guests

Peace of mind
By keeping certain rooms off-limits without needing a full security upgrade

Types of Interior Door Locks

Privacy Locks

These locks are ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms. They use a push button or turn mechanism on the inside and typically have an emergency release slot on the outside. They offer privacy, not high security.

Best for:
Bedrooms
Bathrooms
Guest rooms

Passage Locks

These are non-locking knobs or levers used for hallways, closets, or pantry doors. They don’t have a locking mechanism—just a latch to keep the door closed.

Best for:
Hallways
Closets
Laundry rooms

Keyed Entry Locks

These offer more security than privacy locks and are operated with a key from the outside. They’re useful for home offices, storage rooms, or interior doors where extra protection is needed.

Best for:
Home offices
Storage rooms
Interior garage doors

Smart Interior Locks

Smart locks aren’t just for exterior doors anymore. Interior smart locks allow you to monitor access to offices, guest rooms, or shared spaces—great for roommates, rentals, or family members needing privacy.

Best for:
Guest rooms
In-law suites
Rental units within your home

Childproof Locks

These include knob covers, lever handle locks, and other devices designed to prevent toddlers from opening doors you don’t want them accessing.

Best for:
Utility rooms
Bathrooms
Any room where young children shouldn’t be unsupervised

Finish and Style Considerations

In Phoenix homes, especially in high-sunlight areas like Arcadia or South Mountain, it’s important to choose finishes that are:

• UV-resistant
• Scratch-resistant
• Able to withstand dry heat without fading or pitting

Popular finishes include matte black, satin nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze for modern homes and desert-inspired interiors.

Should You Match All Locks?

Not necessarily. It’s okay to mix functionality with aesthetic—passage knobs for closets, privacy locks for bedrooms, and a keyed entry for an office. We can help you coordinate finishes while ensuring each room has the right security level.
