I want to put this on french doors to my bedroom. I purchased privacy locks for the left door, but which type do I buy for the right door?

a dummy lever and pin the right side door top and bottom, so the left side has something stable to lock against.

On a regular door, the lock swings out to catch the door frame. So if one French door remains locked shut when the other side is opened, the Top of Door Lock should catch it. And there must be enough space between the doors for the Top of Door Lock to fit in. There should be a gap of at least 1/8 inch per this review:

As long as you can access the top of the door to install and slide the lock back and forth, I would think that these would work for doors that push in rather than pull out. The locks only have handle extensions on one side, so if the doors are between rooms, you'd only have a handle on one side of the door.

No lock here. This is for closets mainly. You want the one that shows a small hole on the barrel. It's called a Privacy Lever

I use both of my wedge-its on my garage doors, which lock and open outward. The main reason I use the wedge-it is to keep the door open all-the-way, so that I can enter the garage without having to use my hands to open the door, and to keep it opened during gusts of wind that would otherwise slam my door shut. So, if you don't want the door opened all the way, the wedge-it is not for you! I would place a piece of wood inside the door frame near the hinges large enough to keep the door from closing all the way. Sounds simple, but it works. (I used a block of wood 4x1x.5 inches, and stood it up inside the door frame with the long side standing up.) Hope this works for you. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to use my noodle to figure stuff out! Don't you just love doing that?

For a Bathroom or room is perfect as you can lock it from one side. If looking for a lock with key, NO. We are using them and they are great

Hi Craig, I used a piece of wood for years and it worked fine. This does seem to offer better security (if you need it) and it is very convenient. It is mounted inn the center verses at floor which will give more security. No more bending over to get the wood and it laying by the door on the floor. I personally like it better than the wood. Have a nice day.

I purchase the 7/8 length shaft that comes with 3 of the lock cams depending on the how far the center of the hole is from the end of the cabinet side. In my case it was an alarm panel and I had to grind off the cam because it was too large for the cam to close on the cabinet edge. If you have a 3/4 hole these locks will fit and to determine the length measure the material thickness of the door and how far down on the side the cam catch is located. If this located outside I would purchase the dustcover. Good luck.

It should be fine if your door is a standard thickness, however I would suggest buying a passage lock (hall and closet) vs a bed and bath

Look, this locks works perfectly for a simple standard lock-door system. So only buy one first to try.It wont work with new age , styled , non standard doors.That beeing said, once you put it on its highly improbable that any landlord and or burglar gets in without having to destroy the door.

We bought left and right handle for bedroom and bathroom. They have lock on the one side, inside for bedroom and inside the bathroom, like any bathroom door handle.

I have French doors for every door in my house and use these for privacy. I don't think it would darken the room but hard for me to say based on how I use it.

My suggestion would be to get hooks that go over your door. You could probably buy these at several different places. Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot... I have a few hooks over my bathroom door, but I can't remember where I got them. The door closes just fine with them on.

Put one on each side of the entry to meet in the middle. You might have to turn the magnets over soo they will attach and hold tightly. One way the repel and the other attract. Like 2 french doors.

It fits with no problem. We are using one as a privacy lock on our bedroom door, because the kids are too curious! :)Just require to drill two little holes, but it comes with a template and if you are handy, that should be no trouble.Battery last almost a year for us and still going strong. (Duracell I'm using) If the battery dies there is two other methods to open the lock from outside. It comes with regular Keyes (which you should hide somewhere safe) or there is a connector for a 9V battery on the bottom which will give extra boost for the old batteries inside and let you in as long as your finger is with you!
