Why? Typically bathroom doors do not need to be unlocked in order to exit.Not exactly safe if there is an emergency situation for the electrician.
Put a lever style or panic hardware on the door also.
This is a design issue (personal preference), not an NEC issue if the electrical room/working space can be exited. You may find prohibitions elsewhere like in building or fire codes.
