a knob that unlocks when I twist it from the inside because some Einstein thought it was a good design to save literally less than a second to turn the lock before you open the door. This was either a marketing ploy, and/or I surmise that there was likely a cost-cutting tactic, and they are pushing the "feature" under the guise of protection "in case there is a fire". It would have been more believable to say they did it for someone with an injured arm, or carrying a gun or phone.
I'll bet it has more to do with legal liability than marketing. It's a sure bet that someone who experienced a loss will be contacted by a lawyer who want to bring suit against the lock company for preventing a quick escape.
