Also, for a secure installation of the automatic door operator, if there is drywall behind the operator location, a wooden backing (blocking) should be installed before installation.

washroom kit with push to lock system and automatic locking
The washroom kit for a door operator is a system where the restroom door remains normally open using an electric strike. After entering, the user presses a “push-to-lock” button, which locks the restroom door. At the same time, the exterior push button is disabled, and an illuminated indicator shows that the restroom is occupied.
Once the person leaves, the system resets automatically.
In some cities, installation of this system is mandatory for public washrooms.
