Hi @ttaggart 

I had a similar issue with my bathroom door handle that had a privacy lock, and @MitchellMc suggested a fix that worked perfectly for me.

He suggested removing the black rubber 'O' ring on the spindle.

Are you able to see a black rubber ring inside? 

I shared my experience in this post. You might find it helpful as the advice I received was spot-on! 😊

By the way, do you happen to know the name of the manufacturer? That could help with finding the right fix!
