At least with a front-door you know it's there, I guess!

Assuming it's not your own door.

Works great until someone opens the door.

People might get themselves stuck on the wrong side of the door.

If the door doesn't fall out first :)

That's kinda like securing a door while not having walls

The doors are (one of) the problems.

Or open the door, not just unlock.

Seems like a not very secure front door to me.
