My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️
He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

I would guess the main purpose of the hatch is to prevent the dogs freely leaping between yards unsupervised.
This, and if you have a latch on both sides, both sides would have to coordinate when the neighbor wants to say hi to the dogs which would get very annoying.
You are exactly right. I’m not too worried about them doing that, but he wanted to make sure my dogs didn’t escape, just in case.
