Is there any attachment i can put it there so that I can lock it from outside easily? (other than leaving a screwdriver with a string hanging off the door?)

timmmay: Why do you want to lock people in the bathroom?
You could glue on a plastic attachment or change the handle.
nakedmolerat: As you can see on the picture, this is recessed.
Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation
scuwp: I am still mystified why anyone would want to lock this door from the outside? The external mechanism is designed to be able to unlock the door in the case of an emergency. As puzzled as I am, I would suggest taking the whole thing out and going to visit a reputable door hardware/locksmith shop. I have not seen a design like that shown in your picture before.
The flip side is if you can lock or unlock it at anytime from inside or outside, whats then point of having a lock?
Yours sincerely,
confused and probably ultimately unhelpful

you can already lock from outside now, you just need coin/screwdriver etc.
when you have a lil crawler that goes everywhere, you may understand the need.

nakedmolerat: Ok guys, our pocket door (bathroom) can be locked from inside but not outside. It however has this 'flat-head' screw type which you can use to unlock/lock the door from the outside.
