Two tools in one.

The one end is pokey. That’s for releasing handles from leversets. You poke into a hole on the side of the handle and it pushes a spring loaded latch out of the way enough to remove the handle. (This is the style of the majority of commercial and many residential leversets)

The other end has the “hook” bit. Some leversets have rings that are threaded on the inside but the outside is round. They need to be tightened, but there’s no flat side to put a regular wrench on. (It can be done with vise grips or channelocks, but that leaves scars) Instead, they will drill a small hole in the ring and you can hook the tool onto that hole and tighten/loosen the ring. That tool is properly called a “hook spanner wrench”. 10

What is that coin?

Thanks for asking this, I was wondering the same thing, this week, when changing door handles, too!

It looks like a small C spanner.

There should be a nut or something else you need to turn with a notch or series of notches cut into the outer face which this will grab onto as you pull it around the part.

Could it be used to unlock the door? Or if they’re lever handles is there a set screw one could loosen to adjust the tilt?

Looka like it’s for screwing down the escutcheon
