hi all

My son is 2 1/2 just moved out of his crib...his grandmother is worried he
will open the deadbolts on the new entry doors and go outside in the
winter while we are sleeping (she heard it happened to someone else on the
news)

My husband works from 4 am to 7 am milking his cows so I would like a lock
that will lock behind him and that he could open when he gets home. Any
ideas?

Do they still make those old keyed locks that pull to lock and have a
button you push down to open?

I have taught my son to leave the house when the fire alarm sounds so I
don't really like the idea of locking the doors ... any thoughts?

I never even considered the possibility of our kids doing that. And they
didn't.
Unless you have some specific reason to fear it, I would forget about it.

(if you worry this much at 2, just wait until they are 18)
