I would not leave the door unlock but you are correct. For my house it would take you an extra second to break the window in the door and reach in to unlock. I have seen key boxes you put a door key in and the emergency personnel can open to get the key to your home. Similar to what Realtors use for showing a home. Check your local county to see if they do it. A compromise might be a digital lock or a lock you can operate over wifi from you phone.
