To prevent children from opening the door and remaining inside, we offer double-sided locks that can be locked from the inside. This type of lock requires a key or other access method to open the door from both the inside and outside. It provides enhanced security, especially for front and side gates that may be shorter and easier to reach over or through. However, it's important to consider the drawbacks of this locking method. While it can keep children safe inside, it may pose challenges in emergency situations. In the event of a fire or other emergencies, individuals inside who are unfamiliar with unlocking the door may face difficulties in quickly exiting the building. It's crucial to carefully consider this potential drawback and evaluate how you would evacuate the building during emergencies. Another option you can consider is the SDL-SS1 lock, which has a switch to lock the handle from inside. This allows you to keep the door locked from the inside without needing a key. However, keep in mind that this option may not offer the same level of security as a double-sided lock. Before making a decision, we recommend assessing your specific needs and weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each locking method. It's essential to prioritize the safety of your family while also considering ease of use and accessibility in emergency situations. |
