It has never been an issue, I have no idea if my kids lock their doors or not. I knock when I want to go in their room.
As far as emergencies, if getting in to their room was an issue I’d just pop the lock with a pin, or dh would kick in the door.
I’ve been leaving my kids alone overnight for years, if I trust they’d be Ok while I was not in the house I certainly trust they’d be OK behind a locked door if I’m in it.
ETA My kids have never given me a reason to think they are “up to no good” in their room. What does that mean- doing drugs? Watching porn? I can see if there is a history of bad behavior and drug use but if not why the assumption that they are doing something bad in there?
