Not being able to exit your home in an emergency without a key is a serious safety problem. In most places it is not permitted.
International Residential Code R311.4.4 “All egress doors shall be readily openable from the side from which egress is to be made without the use of a key or special knowledge or effort”. Most local codes are derived from this.
they asked for advice on a door to protect a child, not a lesson on municipal code. go out there and fix it yourself.
This comment feels needlessly hostile.
i'm sorry that I was too aggressive. I still feel that a lot of commenters were throwing shade where it didn't belong.
