A Jack and Jill Bathroom is a bathroom that is connected to two rooms by two doors. The bathroom may have two wash basins but it all depends on the owner.
Privacy Measures:
Due to the fat that a Jack and Jill bathroom is shared, it would make sense to have locks on both doors and of course, a working set of keys. This will allow the occupants to use the bathroom without entering the other’s bedroom.
If privacy is not such a big issue, there will be no need to lock the door when you only brush your teeth or wash your face.
