That is why a door lock should be keyed on both sides! If someone wanted to break into my front door, they would have to defeat a sturdy storm door and then the solid wood door. Breaking a sidelight would not do them any good because of the afore mentioned double keyed lock. By then, they would have tripped my alarm system, stirred up my (large) dogs and given me time to rack a load of double ought into the chamber of my 12 gauge. Nothing and I mean nothing good would come of all this for the would be intruder!
