The standard lock for wire cages and partitions contains a keyhole on the front and a manual recessed Thumb-Turn Latch on the back. This allows a person to open the lock from inside the cage or door. The holes between the wire are not large enough to fit a hand through so there is no worry about someone using this inner lock to break in.
