I'm searching for a specific type of door latch hook that can operate from both sides of the door. I'm looking for something that consists of two hooks swinging on a fulcrum, allowing them to move in unison so they can be hooked into separate loops on either end. I'm really at a loss about where to find this hardware, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you considered using a rod lock? It has a T-handle in the middle that lets you expand or retract the rods, which might suit your needs depending on your setup! Check it out here: https://www.siraweb.com/54-inch-locking-bar
But how would these hooks move together if one is on the door and the other on the frame? If they're on the same piece, what’s the point? Can you share more about what you're trying to achieve?
No, one hook would be on one side of the door, where someone would be standing to come in, and the other hook is on the other side, like where the other person would be standing to let them in.
It sounds like you might want a fence gate latch. Many of those types are designed to be accessible and operable from both sides, which could work perfectly for your needs!
This could be the one! Thanks!
That's not quite what I need, but I appreciate your help!
