privacy lock
Door secures occupancy
A privacy lock is a simple interior door lock designed to prevent intrusion rather than provide security—the kind found on bathroom and bedroom doors.
These locks can typically be opened from the outside with a small tool or coin in emergencies: The bathroom has a privacy lock, not a deadbolt.
The term distinguishes them from keyed locks meant to keep out intruders.
