I removed an old bathroom door handle, the handle consisted of backing plate, the handle and a an internal locking mechanism operated by a small knob on the backing plate. Looks like this
Thanks

Tried any of the Screwfix items: D12781
What you need is called a Privacy set (where the snib just stops the lever being turned). Be careful as this looks exactly the same as a Bathroom set, which is different. This operates a Bathroom type mortice lock with a separate shoot, and people get confused about the two names. Privacy sets are on the World of Brass website

My wife bought, what looks like, the mechanism from B&Q. The tubular latch was supplied seperately from the handle/lock mechanism. WM
replying to Peter Taylor, peter caulkett wrote: Legge don't do thumb-turn no. 14 for their tubular latches, these were discontinued 10 years ago apparently - and there is no alternative. Seems pointless to keep manufacturing the latches without some form of locking them
So they were discontinued 3 years after asking the question?
Maybe nobody answered and they thought, um nobody wants em. brian
