Locks on interior doors are for privacy NOT security. As so many Europeans have rightly pointed out US houses are made from cardboard and popsicle sticks. A locked bedroom door will hold for maybe 3 kicks. Which isn't even enough time to call the police let alone wait for them to arrive.

    That's of the penetrator wants to kill you. If they just want to commit burglary, they won't shoot until they feel threatened. Someone who locks themselves isn't a threat. The idea is not to be protected by the door, but not to escalate the situation. That will put your family in security far more than playing a discount John McClane.
