Sod the insurance company. I don't care if burglars nick the DVD. I do care
if I find the remains of my charred family by the locked front door.

I must be missing something here, why can't you use the back door if
the front is unopenable for whatever reason. There should be, and in
modern properties there must be, an alternative exit method. There
should not be a safety issue if the front or any other door is not
accessible.

My original question was about a flat where there isn't any *easy*
alternative access.
