There is a lockout switch for the outside control and I always keep the deadbolt on on the door into the laundry room from the garage. We simply retract the screen when it is not needed or when it rains and at night. The screen keeps the little "animals" (bugs, lizards, etc.) out, too. My cat loves to sit out there and watch the wildlife and the dog can go out and watch for the "master" to return.
