All of our doors have a thumb bolt on the inside so getting the door open from inside is easy.

We had a new front door installed because the door the builder used was a nice steel door, it was ugly, and looked very industrial. We had a solid core wood door installed. Once again I know my limits, and having never hung a rather expensive outside door, we hired a real pro. He took the old frame off back to the studs of the wall. He used long screws and lots of them to attache the new frame. After a decade, the door still closes like a bank vault, and the deadbolt lock just slides perfectly into place. It was fun to watch him work. It was obvious he had done it many times before. The first thing he did was throw the instructions in the trash pile. He never had to go back a step or do something twice. He was methodical, and did it right.

My business partner has a fancy front door lock. It will operate by a key if necessary, but it has a 4 digit code, and it even has an proximity sensor tied to his cell phone. He can just walk up and get in, like many new cars. He hates keys.
