Hey Ken,
 
When did locking your front become an issue?  The mat on your porch
says welcome and you only lock the door to keep "others" out.  This
certainly doesn't apply to me or any other individuals who happen
to read mat!
 
Protect yourself.  Put up at least 5 warning signs, all in conspicuous
places so that a person could never claim that they weren't told they
couldn't enter your house.
