Pedestrian gate manual lock (One side key)

A "pedestrian gate manual lock (one side key)" refers to a type of locking mechanism for a gate that is operated manually and requires a key to unlock it from one side, while the other side allows for easy exit without a key. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

• Manual Operation: This lock doesn't rely on electricity or automation. You physically use your hand to engage or disengage the locking mechanism.
• One-Sided Key Access: The defining characteristic is that a physical key is needed to unlock the gate from one specific side (usually the exterior or entry side).
• Easy Exit (Thumb-Turn, Latch, or Push Pad): On the interior or exit side, there's typically a simple mechanism like a thumb-turn, lever, push pad, or a basic latch that allows for quick and easy opening without needing a key. This is often a safety feature, especially for emergency exits.
• Security: It provides a basic level of security, preventing unauthorized entry from the keyed side.
• Power Independence: Since it's manual, it's not affected by power outages.
• Common Use Cases: These locks are frequently found on garden gates, backyard gates, pool gates, and other pedestrian access points where controlled entry is desired but a quick exit is also necessary.

In essence, it's a practical and straightforward locking solution for gates where you want to control who comes in, but allow anyone inside to easily get out.
