Can't argue with your points...although I have purchased a deadbolt that requires a key to "get out"...they are nice for a few reasons. However, I was being a bit sarcastic when I wrote that post. I was trying to point out that door and window locks do not prevent break-ins. Although they can prevent most elementary kids from getting in and wreaking havoc. (The more elaborate the security...obviously the better the defense) The author just annoyed me. ;-)

The place I'm in now has one, because the door it's in has a window in it. If the window was broken, a non-keyed lock could easily be reached through the window. However, that's only one of three entrance doors, the other two have non-keyed blind deadbolts.
