dørånlåser

Dørånlåser, often translated as "door handle lock" or "lever lock," refers to a type of locking mechanism integrated into a door handle. This design combines the function of a door handle for opening and closing with a locking feature to secure the door. Typically, a dørånlåser operates via a turning mechanism, often a thumbturn or a key, located on one or both sides of the door. When engaged, this mechanism prevents the door handle from operating the latch, thus keeping the door closed and locked.

These locks are commonly found on interior doors such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices, where a balance between accessibility and privacy is desired. They offer a convenient way to secure a room without the need for a separate deadbolt or more complex locking system. The aesthetic of dørånlåser can vary widely, from simple, utilitarian designs to more decorative and ornate styles, allowing them to complement various interior decors. Installation usually involves mounting the handle assembly and a strike plate on the door frame. The internal mechanism typically involves a spindle that passes through the door and connects the handles, with a cam or bolt that engages with the strike plate when the lock is activated.
