Right, that's always been the norm around my parts, from houses that were old to modern construction; doorknob with basic lock, and deadbolt. To the point that I've been exceptionally annoyed that my front door is a level-type main action, and the single lock being a separate deadbolt.
This style of combo:
And I hate it, hate hate hate. The thumb level sometimes sticks and you have to finagle the whole handle & door combo to let the level depress fully. Especially annoying when hands are full. lol
Knob locks with a secondary locking mechanism, such as a deadbolt, are actually an excellent combo, and I miss them. The biggest benefit with a knob-lock and deadbolt combo, you don't always need to have the main lock engaged, as you aren't feeling a need for heightened security. So, you leave the deadbolt unlocked but the knob-lock engaged. It still requires a modicum of effort on the part of an assailant, and yet you can still open the door with no effort, just twist the knob. No reaching for and twisting the deadbolt, just... open it, really it's quite wonderful.
Do we know the whereabouts of the dish and the spoon?
Since the cow didn't make it, I'd assume still in an unsatisfying relationships with their 1st cousins.Do we know the whereabouts of the dish and the spoon?

A beached whale surrounded by scavengers/predators?What's the back story to this?
Not worthless if it's impossible to lock yourself out and it forces you to remember to lock your door when leaving.
No shit. I was just wondering if it was something that was recent with all of the hurricanes we have had.A beached whale surrounded by scavengers/predators?
Take a walk in the woods or something. It'll blow your mind.

Ain't no tine for that crap. A spork? Really?Is there no fork in the family tree?
I have literally never locked myself out of my house. I used to keep a spare key in one of those burry a key in the garden things but after going forever and not needing it I dug it up and put it in a drawer.
We leave one on the back porch for convenience. The kid started using it instead of the one on the key ring in his hand (no idea why) and he would put it on the kitchen counter. Last month, we rolled in at 1AM from CO. The wife doesn't have a house key on her ring (again, no idea why). My keys were in the house because there was no reason to haul them to CO and back. So I'm using my phone flashlight, banging on his bedroom window trying to wake him up. He hasn't brought the key inside since.I have literally never locked myself out of my house.
