Let’s see if anybody is smart or creative enough to figure this out. Or maybe it’s been solved and I don’t know.

Bathroom is shared with room 1 and room 2.

Currently, inside the bathroom there’s a door knob that can lock. The push button type. Privacy lock. On the room side, there’s a deadbolt to lock it, and you can “unlock” the bathroom door using a screwdriver or a coin.

Problem:
1. person from bathroom 1 uses bathroom. Forgets to unlock door 2.

2. With a screwdriver or coin, can easily unlock the door when someone is showering inside.

Is there a better simple solution? Without fancy electronic locks.

Ideally, when person from room 1 enters to use bathroom, he locks door from room 2 which at the same time locks door 1. When he exits bathroom, he unlocks door 1 which also unlocks door 2.

interesting question, wanna know about this also for reference in the future

Ask chatbot gpt la dew

use latch

this lagi susah, if 1 side forgot to unlock then totally no chance to open from outside

haha good idea.

but what if the doors are opposite to each other instead? any suggestions?

that's cheapest solusi, dono why last time houses like to have this kind of design, else just make 2 toilets.

shouldnt be a problem, as long as the doors open facing inside of bathroom. only worry for scratches on the doors.

use digital lock, open from inside, both door open, lock from inside, both door lock, open from outside, only the door you open unlock

I think from a practical standpoint, you win for the given diagram. thank you. if the distance between the 2 doors is long then that's a long bar.

now for those who have the doors to room 1 and room 2 on the opposing side facing each other, that's not solved lol.

itu kepala otak never read the question properly.

I'm having the same exact situation and if I'm not mistaken, I did posted a similar thread years ago - but no replies.

Until now I'm yet to find a proper solution for this.

Car central locking mechanism, but using the 5 wire gun on both doors?
