The very first thing I did on my first full day in Toad was change the locks. This is a good idea anyway of course, but I decided I couldn't sleep another night in a house that requires a key to let you out. That's right, this picture is on the inside. All three doors leading out of the house needed a key to turn the deadbolt even from indoors. So if I woke to a fire, I'd be searching for my keys just to escape. Is this normal? Am I the strange one?
Before.
After.

It used to be suggested for doors with windows in them, but I think they decided the fire hazard out-weighed the burglar hazard.
That makes sense, my parent's back door has a window and the dead bolt needs a key from the inside too.
That makes sense actually. Though the front door was the same way and it is solid wood.
