And I thought the customers that want a keyed deadbolt on the inside AND the outside were a little slow...

Keyed both sides deadbolts are sometimes required by insurance companies. The theory is, if someone breaks into your house through a window or other means, they can't walk out your front door with large items, restricting what the thief can steal. If you don't have keyed both sides deadbolts, they might not cover you as much as if you did.

In some areas that is against life/safety codes.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

In Australia, if you live in a shared dwelling (apartment/unit) it is illegal to have deadbolts on your door, period. If you live in a house, it's fine.

Seriously. Basically, you can't put anything on your door that would prevent the door from closing and latching properly. This includes a chain.
Basically, if you live in an apartment or a unit, the only thing you can have on your door is a dead latch.
The door viewer has to be fire-rated as well.

hey, through a 'criminals are dumb ' approach this may be a good idea. Not only is there no know to snap off, the complexity added by a second lock makes it appear more secure. I probbally would make a bad burgular, but if i was, i would just move on to the next house if i didnt use NDE(and i wouldnt)
