    I would love this!

    I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I’m checking whether the stall is occupied.

    Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

      Those locks with that show occupied when the latch is closed achieve the same thing without the need of the smart glass

        Yes, but the glass is immediately noticable from anywhere in the bathroom. I don’t have to walk up to each door to see the latch position.

          I don’t have issue with quickly glancing over at the doors to see which ones are occupied

          It’s literally not going to take you that ling tobwalk close enough to the doors and glance at them

      Just do like my ex-coworkers and go mental on every doorhandle untill they find an empty stall. It’s probably to scare the shit out of me, to make it go faster.

      Just have a latch that can only be closed from the inside. That’s what I’ve always seen in public bathrooms.
