Home Q&A: Picking the Right Lock for Every Room
When you renovate, replace doors, or set up an Airbnb, there’s always one question that comes up:
Do I really need to change the door locks?
Let’s go through some of the most common questions people ask — and find the right fit for your home.
❓Q1: What kind of lock should I use for bedroom and bathroom doors?
A: Bedrooms and bathrooms need privacy locks — something that locks from the inside but doesn’t need a key.
Tinewa’s Interior Privacy Door Lever is a great option — it locks with a simple turn and opens smoothly.
Perfect for bedrooms, studies, and bathrooms where you need a bit of privacy without worrying about keys.
❓Q2: What about hallway or closet doors? Do I need a lock?
A: Not really — you just need a passage lock, which has no locking function.
It simply opens and closes easily — ideal for hallways, laundry rooms, and storage spaces.
Tinewa’s Interior Passage Door Knob is sturdy, smooth, and fits standard U.S. doors.
❓Q3: We have kids and guests — what’s the safest option?
A: Choose a privacy lock with an emergency unlock feature.
Tinewa privacy levers can be unlocked from outside with a coin or screwdriver, so you’ll never worry about someone getting locked in accidentally.
❓Q4: What’s the best lock for an Airbnb or rental home?
A: Definitely a smart lock.
Tinewa’s smart locks support fingerprint, passcode, and app control, allowing you to set temporary codes for guests — no need to hand over keys again.
❓Q5: I want my front door to look more modern — what do you suggest?
A: Try a square-style handleset in matte black or brushed nickel.
Tinewa’s minimalist design fits modern homes beautifully and works with both left- and right-hand doors.
❓Q6: Can I install it myself?
A: Yes! All Tinewa locks are designed for DIY installation.
Each package includes a template and step-by-step guide — all you need is a screwdriver.
If your door is a standard thickness (1-3/8" to 1-3/4"), you’re good to go.
