Toilet seat rosettes
With a bathroom turn-and-release escutcheon, you add privacy control to a toilet or bathroom door. The vacant/occupied indicator shows from the outside whether the room is in use. Combine the escutcheon with a suitable bathroom mortise lock and a matching door handle. Pay attention to the shape, color, and connection of the control.
A WC rosette for privacy with a compact finish
A WC rosette is the visible lock control on a toilet or bathroom door. It is placed below the door handle and works together with a suitable WC mortise lock. The occupied/free indicator shows from the outside whether the room is in use.
This solution is suitable for a door handle on a separate rosette. The handle and lock remain separate, compact components. Choose a version that matches the lock in terms of connection and matches the rest of the door hardware in terms of shape and color.
A WC rosette and a WC mortise lock are different components
The WC mortise lock contains the mechanism inside the door. The rosette operates that mechanism from the door surface. The connection between the two must be correct. Therefore, check the specifications of the operation, door and lock, even when the components come from a similar series.
| Component | Function | What should you check? |
|---|---|---|
| Interior operation | Lock the door from inside | Connection to the lock operation |
| Exterior | Show occupied/free status | Correct installation and operation |
| Rosette | Mounting and finish | Shape, size and existing drill holes |
| Mortise lock | Mechanism in the door | Compatibility with the operation |
Match with round or square door handle rosettes
Combine a round WC rosette with a round finish around the lever for a harmonious look. A square version can suit straight lines instead. Compare the door handles on rosettes and check the finish and outside dimensions in addition to the color name.
Would you prefer the lever handle and lock on one plate? Then take a look at the WC door hardware for backplate versions. The choice between a backplate and separate roses changes the appearance, but the lock must be technically compatible in both cases.
Installation, use, and maintenance
- Measure the door thickness and check the compatibility of the spindle.
- Check whether the rose covers existing holes and marks.
- Test closing, opening, and the indicator first with the door open.
- Clean the visible parts with a soft cloth and prevent dirt from accumulating around the rotary control.
Buy WC roses at WDTegels
Select a WC rose that is technically compatible, then match the shape and color. Compare the contents of the delivery on the product page: the door handle and mortise lock are not automatically included. This allows you to assemble suitable privacy hardware with confidence.
Frequently asked questions
Is a WC rose the same as a complete WC lock?
No. The rose is the operating component on the door. A suitable WC mortise lock is needed in the door for locking.
Can a WC rose be combined with any door handle?
The lever handle and rose must each be compatible with the door and lock. For appearance, also compare the shape, external dimensions, and finish. Technical compatibility is the first check.
How do I check the vacant/occupied indicator?
First operate the installed rose while the door is open. Check whether the indicator matches the position of the latch and whether the mechanism reopens smoothly without resistance.
Do I need to replace the mortise lock when replacing a WC rose?
Not always. If the existing lock works well and the new hardware is compatible, it can stay in place. Compare the dimensions and mounting method before choosing a new rose.
