Indicator Bolts

Indicator bolts are a simple yet highly effective door hardware solution designed to provide privacy and clear occupancy indication. Commonly installed on bathroom and restroom doors, they combine a locking mechanism with a visible indicator that shows whether the room is engaged or vacant. At John Barnes Group, we supply durable and easy-to-use indicator bolts suitable for both residential and commercial projects. Buy Indicator Bolts online today from the John Barnes online shop!

 

What Are Indicator Bolts?

An indicator bolt functions as a locking bolt that can be operated from the inside of a door, typically by a thumbturn or sliding action. On the outside, a small window or display clearly shows whether the room is “engaged” or “vacant,” helping to avoid interruptions and improving user convenience.
