Called at a house last week, bog standard uPVC D/G front door with euro lock.
Lady came to the door, then had to find the keys. Took her maybe a minute.
If there was a fire I reckon she would have died before she found them.
There has to be a balance between safety & security. Locking a means of escape seems plain dangerous to me.
We have a euro lock on the porch with a turn button & a Yale on the from door with a bolt. Not wonderfully secure I suppose, but easy to get out.
Any thoughts on the best compromise?
