I'd rather not go into too much detail on a public forum, but if our doors are closed they are generally locked.
There are two exceptions:
1) If we're doing things in the yard, etc. the front door is generally unlocked.
2) When it's nice outside since, like most people in Seattle, we do not have AC. That means our front and side door are open whenever we're home, awake, and within earshot. We do not have screen doors (Seattle doesn't have mosquitoes), but we do have a metal gate on the side door. I'd estimate 70% of houses have the front door open in the summer, so I'm not too worried about it.
I have yet to figure out how having a kid will change this, if at all.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
