Is it possible to have different access methods on each side of a double-sided lock?
Yes — many smart lock configurations are designed with different behaviour inside vs outside. Typically, the outside has secure access (PIN/fingerprint/card/app), while the inside prioritises quick exit (handle/turn knob).
Common setups
- Outside: PIN + fingerprint + card/fob + app
- Inside: thumbturn/handle for fast egress
What to consider
- Fire/egress requirements (especially for commercial installs)
- Child safety and internal access preferences
- Whether you want audit logs of unlock events
