Why have you a lock like that on an interior door?

Round here all the Victorian houses have an outside storm door that people tend to leave open during the day and an inside "front door" that stays locked. Just the way they were built.

Although every door in the house actually has a mortice lock on it, even cupboards. Guess the Victorians didn't want the staff nicking the silver.

We had the same 2 door set up, but when I was a kid the inner door wasn't locked during the day, we'd go up the road to my aunts and just walk through the door shouting "hello".

Minton tiles, they ran through the house to the kitchen, we moved out in the 80's, but last year the current owner contacted me through the local FB group and sent me some pics of the house, the tiles have stayed
