I purchased an entry way door deadbolt today and instead of having one keyhole on the outside it has one on the inside too. Is this normal?

Some models of deadbolt locks have a keyhole on the inside as well as the outside. This is normal. Some people prefer the extra lock, others do not. If you do not like having an inside lock on your entry way door, you can exchange it for one that has only an outside lock.

What type of lock requires a key from the outside and can be opened by turning a knob on the inside?
double cylinder deadbolt
What are single cylinder deadbolt locks?
A single cylinder deadbolt lock is a lock opened with a key from outside the house or apartment. A key isn't needed on the inside - the door is locked from the inside by turning a knob. A double cylinder deadbolt needs to be opened with a key from both the inside and outside. So a single cylinder deadbolt is considered the safest, since you don't have to search for a key when escaping from a fire or another emergency. However, a single cylinder lock makes it easier for a burglar. If there is a glass panel in the door or a window close by, the burglar can break the glass, and reach in and open the door by turning the knob. Some building codes prohibit double cylinder deadbolts for safety reasons.
You are locked out of your house what must you do?
well there are a couple of options, one would be to call a locksmith and that's expensive. two you can place a hide a key somewhere only you know or your spouse knows or you could leave a key with the neighbor but who talks to there neighbors anymore, or you can get into your garage and get your drill with a 1/4 inch drill bit and depending on the lock set aming nicely on the deadbolt to either side of the key hole you drill a hole on both sides and it will back out the screw from the outside do that on both sides and if done properly you can remove the deadbolt from the outside and then use a key or screwdriver to turn the backset to unlock the deadbolt and you can also do this with the knob set as well. i hope this works for you. joe scat :-)
