I would use the key that is kept on a 6 foot chain about 5 feet away
from the door.  We only have one door like this, and its not used very
often, but the key is kept there in case anyone needed to get out.

If the key wasn't there, I would break the window and go out through
that.

Where do you think these are used if not for entry doors.
