Lock

In order to ensure security and privacy, some rooms, especially latrines and washroom need to have an internal lock.

Avoid installing tiny locks or hooks as they are difficult to grab. Larger locks with an easy grip will be easier to grab for everyone. The picture below is an example of a easy to use lock.
