Can CRJ lavatory doors be unlocked from the outside?

The lavatory doors on CRJ aircraft can indeed be unlocked from the outside. This feature is designed for safety and convenience, allowing crew members to access the lavatory in case of an emergency or if a situation arises that requires opening the door from the outside.
