It's completely idiotic because internal door locks, the kind in the knob, have a little hole that you can use a tool to unlock it from the outside. I think it's meant for in case of emergency, but the point is they're trivially easy to unlock.
The parents are more likely control freaks.
You could also just remove the knob and the door still functions for the most part. It’s actually harder to take the whole door off
You can take the door off in like five seconds. Just grab the hinge pins with a pair of pliers and yank them out. Especially if it’s an internal door, because it’s probably hollow (and thus extremely light.) Removing the front door would suck, but only because it’ll be solid.
