Does anyone have a central or automatic lock system for a jack and jill bathroom? I'm sure such things must exist, and a bit of Googling bring up a fair bit of non-specific information. So I'm wondering if anyone here has a proven solution.

The search term you might be missing is "interlocks" but they likely won't be cheap for a plug and play system.
You can buy an interlock relay and corresponding door locks like these if you're happy enough wiring them up and adding the required switches and power supply.

Ready made system here but it's not a cheap solution.

Don't you just need a standard type lock on each door?
Why do you need interlocks?

Person enters bathroom from bedroom A, locks the opposite door (into bedroom B). Has shower, unlocks door B and walks out of door A
And vice versa.

If there is an issue with person from Bed A accessing Bed B via the bathroom, just put a deadbolt on the Bedroom side too
Because the bathroom links two guest bedrooms, and it would be easier not to have to remember to remind people to lock both doors. If I can install a solution, I'd like to.
