Liability and a double keyed dead bolt
A dilemma I'm having is that my tenant wanted a double keyed dead bolt, and I complied. Both doors have glass that a would be intruder could break and open a dead bolt. Now I hear that could be a fire safety hazard and I could be held liable. More gray area. So I'm thinking of who I should call to get the scoop w/o opening Pandora's box. My latest thought is the insurance company themselves. I'm not beyond just replacing both doors w/o glass and with the dead bolt only keyed on the outside. I'd have to talk to HOA before doing this since all the houses on the ends have glass doors. Anyhow that's it! How did I get into this?
