The invention discloses a double-insertion security door and externally-hung locking device, and relates to the field of security doors and mechanical security locks. In a technical scheme that two patented products, namely a double-insertion security door and a lock core-fixed cross-shaped mechanical security lock, are matched and combined for use, and a special driving connection way is also adopted. The double-insertion security door and externally-hung locking device is mainly characterized in that a lock is mounted inside a door leaf, and is separated from the side of the door leaf by a certain distance; a main lock latch and a lock tongue are independently mounted between the lock and the inner plate surface of the door leaf, and are movably connected with an extending part of a lock driving component only, namely are externally hung outside the lock body; the door leaf is unlocked and locked by rotating a handle integrally assembled with the lock movably and capable of idling, and the stroke of the main lock latch can be increased to more than double; only one knob is used for driving the locking device indoors, so that operation is simple and quick; the anti-prying and damage-preventing performance of the door leaf is also broken through while the lock cannot be unlocked technically and can resist forcible unlocking and damage.
