How can you open an inside lock, presumably a sliding bolt, from the outside? Even Dynamo would have problem with that, and should not the darling child have been discouraged from this practice, or at least attempting it, at the earliest opportunity?

Most toilet door locks are able to be opened from the outside, it's a safety feature, many just have a slot that can be operated with a screwdriver or coin some need a special key.

Well, you say 'most,' I have never seen one like that. Still leaves the tendency to voyeurism displayed by the child, which might be considered unusual at such a tender age.

Our locks can be opened from the outside by simply downing the handle
fast a few times.

As the doors are wood came with the house we had a 2nd lock fitted at the top of the door with a bolt key.

'Attachment theory' Not voyeurism.

My little one' used to lie on the floor outside the bathroom with little fingers under the crack in the door repeating 'mummy'.
Normal and natural part of dealing with separation.

Exactly! Thanks Hamble.
Perfectly natural behaviour, which of course we gently discouraged (but easier said than done!)

We used to have a dog who did the same thing... not try to unlock the door (he wasn't THAT smart!) but try to stick his paws under it. Naughty little canine voyeur

Where you are not on a mains water supply, like our place in Spain, then toilet flushing rules are :


If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down

Fish and Guests both go off after three days.

going by the comments by some posters,it would seem the toilet vacillates are not up to standard.

you need a good plumber.

I hate guests - never invite any but it would be a case of accept what there is, if you don't like it, go home. Please!
I have a bifold bathroom door - no lock - tough!
If the bi-fold is flat - occupied. If angled inwards - vacant. Simple.

That made me chuckle. Our new rescue dog loves following us to the loo but when we flush he runs away.He hates the rain and getting wet,for some reason.
