A lever is what you specify when a code officer is going to look at the job, and the Elan is Schlage's plain-spoken version of one - a straight, gently flared lever with no ornament to catch on anything. This is the privacy function for bed and bath doors: a push button locks it from the inside, and it can be released from the outside with a small tool when someone needs to get in.
