Latvian term or phrase: Vienā modelī ***1 durvis ar slēdzeni***.
Part of a tender documentation: description of a tender items. No more context at all. The translation from Latvian into Hungarian. What is not clear to me: this is a cupboard with two doors and a lock in it, and or there is just one door which can be locked? As no more translators in my pair, I ask LV-RU, LV-LV or LV-EN answers - thank you all in advance.

Two options
Explanation:
There are two options - one door with a lock as in "all in one" or
one model with one door and a lock as in there is more than one model

You can take your pick - if original is not clear and you cannot ask the client, insert a translator's note saying that the phrase is ambiguous and could be interpreter both ways.
