Does this knob just go on one side? Does it matter what knob is on the other side? Can I use it on the outside of a door (to keep toddler in room?)

There are actually two "knobs". One side has the twisting lock like you see in the picture; the other side has a hole to insert the tool that is used in case the knob is inadvertently locked from the other side. To keep the toddler in, you would just install it with the side you see in the picture facing out, and the other side (the side with the hole) on the inside of the room.

This is what is called a "privacy" lock. It comes with two knobs and the bolt, as well as necessary strike plate and mounting screws. On one knob there is a locking mechanism. On the other knob there is a small hole that allows unlocking with a thin tool (included). Yes, you could use it to lock toddlers inside a room, but that is not what it is meant for. A privacy lock, as the name applies, is to lock someone OUT of a room (like a bathroom). Personally, I would never consider locking my kids in a room. Have you considered putting them in cages?

Yes the door can still be opened from the outside if the door knob cover is covering the knob inside the room.

Both sides retract. I installed the sliding latch to one door that holds it in place if you want. There is a magnet running down the entire length of the door frame that holds the two doors together. I am very pleased with this product.

It is on the side in an additional piece. We never put it on for our kiddo, so I can't speak to how well it works.

It can be used on either side. The lid can be switched. It does include a lock and keys.

The answer is a definite no. The only way your toddler would be able to turn the lock is if he/she the removed Grip Lock. I like the item so well I have bought one for every outside door and the garage door to the house.

It won't lock behind you - most don't want that to prevent lock-outs. All you do is turn the knob I believe to the left and it locks.

There is an optional little plastic stop that goes on the top and bottom. This is designed to limit the direction but if you don't put it in, it can swing freely in both directions. The only thing you'd have to be aware of is additional door trim that might get in the way.

It goes either way. Depends on your door. There is an adjustment that you make. It's very easy.

What ever side is not in your way when not using the knob. The metal parts hurt if they hit your hand. I use mine for work only and take it off when I am not working.

Hmmm...not totally sure about your question...but let me say this....the knob doesn't function quite like a door knob...its basically a dead bolt that is actuated by a knob....on mine the knob is used to actuate the dead bolt back or forth(also note that the bolt is flat on the end and you can't swing close the door with bolt exposed out. U walk up to locked door, key in code, this allows you to rotate knob and it slides the bolt, you let go of knob and the knob itself springs back, the bolt stays in and door can be opened now(I have a separate standard knob installed below). To lock, u shut door and rotate the knob the other way which internally slides the bolt, let go of knob and it springs/rotates back and the bolt stays extended thus locking the door....ie the mechanism is a dead bolt and not a door knob per se. Whenever u do the "lock" action to extend the bolt thru the door, it stays locked and requires the code to be pushed again to do anything. I hope some of this makes some sense and helps.

Yes, it goes on the bottom of the door so it doesn't matter how the door swings

Kwikset Tustin left handed half dummy lever in satin nickel. This will work on the opposite side or opposite partner door.

thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam. (if you are old enough to remember those) it is in the shape of a capital T. So while it is not officially unlocked from the outside should our two year old accidentally lock himself in the bathroom I have placed the "T-Key" on the top of the door casing/framing so it is always there. hope this helps. They have performed outstanding for us. thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam.

This device is applied to the outside of the door, not inside the room. So, no this device cannot be used to block the center knob from being twisted. You should consider replacing the handle with a pass-through type that does not have a center knob/lock..

there is a small piece that you attach that the hook connects into. You have the knob on the door and the other piece goes to the side where the door closes on (just like other doors).
