    Some houses have a deadbolt that has a lock cylinder on both sides because it’s more resistant to breakins. My house is like this and I need a key to leave unless I want to jump out of a window

      More likely though it’s a normal turner inside, and she just has her keys ready to lock the deadbolt from the outside. That’s how our apartment is.

        Like most buildings, my house has windows I can exit in an emergency

        Double cylinder deadbolts are pretty common IME
