The Hermes lever features a modern geometric profile with refined angles. Privacy sets include thumb turn inside, keyed outside. Solid brass construction provides durability for residential bedroom and bathroom doors.
2) Which door thicknesses work with this privacy set?
Standard residential doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick. Verify exact door thickness before ordering. Thicker doors may require longer through-bolts or shims.

Stand on push side of door. Right hand opens = right hand. Left hand opens = left hand. Privacy sets typically adjust for both handing during installation.

Clean with mild soap and soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes. Protective finish resists tarnishing. Oil finishes may darken naturally over time.
