In most jurisdictions it is only illegal if the lock in question is fitted to a "primary" entrance door, like the front or back door. A double cylinder lock can be used on a Patio door or secondary door. As to onus of responsibility, I think it is in your best interest to inform the customer of life safety codes and ask them how they will get out in an emergency.
The other convincing argument you might use is, Insurance companies will look for any reason to deny a claim. If you use a double cylinder lock on a door, have an insurance claim and the insurance company inspector of adjuster finds that you havent complied with life safety codes, they could be within their rights to deny your claim. For the sake of a $45.00 lock, is it worth taking the chance to be denied by the insurance company?
