I'm converting one of the rooms in my 1840 house into an office. The thing is I have 5 kids and need to be able to lock the door so I can have some level of quiet. I also don't want the kids tinkering around in there when I'm not there. (Sharp tools and stuff)

The kicker is I want it to a lock that can be opened on both sides given a key or code. The door is only about 1-1.25 inch thick of solid wood with only an iron latch.

I've been googling and havinghave not found anything that fits thatthe bill. I think I'm looking for a deadboltsliding bolt style lock that can be opened from either side. I'm open to other ideas too if thethey fit the need.
