Illegal? Really? Is that a local ordinance?

Fire code most places prohibits it, but it is routinely ignored. Idea
being, that unless you leave a key in the lock (which basically turns
it into a thumb latch), people could get trapped in a fire. Unlike us
tool-using barbarians on here, most people wouldn't think of smashing
the glass to get out. I might do it in a house I lived alone in, but
would never do it in a house with kids or older folks.
