Why don't you sell Double Sided Deadbolts?
We do, we have decided to start selling double deadbolts with our Rotasera Cylinder for those customers who have situations where they truly need one. However these deadbolts will only be sold with a standard Pamex 6 pin cylinder on the internal cylinder of the lock.
A double deadbolt should never be used on an exit that is a fire egress exit which is basically any and all exits. If you need to exit your home in a fire or emergency situation having a keyed cylinder on the inside of your home can be deadly. If you leave a key in the lock then it defeats the purpose of the internal cylinder.
"Building code is quite clear on this issue. All means of egress (ways to get out of the house), such as windows and doors, must be operable from the inside without the use of special knowledge or tools. This is not an arbitrary code, or a code designed to make manufacturers money. This code is written in blood."

If a criminal has already broken a window it is likely he will find another way in destructively. Really, a good lock should stop opportunistic criminals from silently entering your home with out evidence. It should force them to take destructive steps, as that is way more risky. The destructive attack is better as a home owner as you will have evidence it happened, The police and your insurance company wont be skeptical. And if you are home you will hear it happening which is extremely valuable. I personally have the grade 3 locks on my home because I believe that if a criminal is going to kick my door in then so be it. Any grade of lock is not going to stop this and in reality may not even delay it.
Lock picking and bumping is a problem and having a lock that is readily opened invites a criminal to walk up to your door, knock and if you're not home let themselves in. If you have a good lock they will move on to your neighbor. If they really want in they will go to the side of your house and break a window which is why alarm systems and cameras are a great product to have on your home as well.
We have had many customers report to us that every apartment on their floor was broken into but theirs, or several homes on their street were broken into via picking but not theirs and this is really what our lock provides. To have a very secure home a good lock is a small but important part of the overall security plan.
