The most common applications are shared bathrooms with dual entry such as in hospitals and rest homes.

The system allows both doors to be locked by the occupant by simply activating the thumb turn on the inside of the door.  Simultaneously the lever handles on the outside of both doors will lock.  Each lock provides a clear visual indication in the form of an LED, both inside and outside, which displays the locked (red) or unlocked (green) status of the door at a glance.  Operating the internal lever on either door will unlock both doors and the indicating LEDs will change back to green.

In the event of an emergency, the doors may be unlocked externally via emergency override switches if fitted.

The Lockwood Room Guard system is also ideal for conference rooms, laboratories, darkroom studios, shared en suites and toilets or any area where 'one touch' privacy locking is required.
