Thumb turn locks or not?

Just one to watch if you have young kids, a thumb lock will potentially allow easy escape for them, where i too was going to go with thumb locks, but at least with a key you can remove them :-)

And this is the "dilemma" in that not only can it let kids escape by accident, it can also let them escape on purpose - perhaps when you're overcome by smoke upstairs.

On balance I'd be more scared of my kids being locked in during a disaster than running out the door.
