If you fear children will open the door you can get a hinge lock at Walmart for just over $1. Put it high on the door and when you are there alone or just with kids close the hinge. I keep my peace of mind this way as my neighbors have been broken in on several times and no one comes into my house uninvited not even my husband! LOL if the latches are closed he has to knock and wait for me to open the latch! He understands totally.
