I'm steadily replacing all the internal door handles for more modern ones.
The bathrooms in the house currently have simple tubular latches and a simple, seperate catch (the small bolt in effect).
Anyway I like the idea of changing the tubular latch type to a "bathroom lock" such that I can use a thumb turn lock as part of the handle.
Think I can do this, question is with it being an old door are there any problems I'll come across fitting the lock? I'm thinking the handle latch will need to line up with the hole already drilled for the tubular latch spindle.
Trying to get me head around whether that will cause me issues before I buy the new lock and handle!
All help appreciated.
