    There is no backup key to unlock the door. (And even if there was, you’d also need a way to actuate the door handle from the inside as there’s no external door handle).

    I imagine this was done for cost savings as they no longer need to cut keys and matching lock cylinders. But it also has the effect of increasing physical security somewhat as picking the door lock is no longer an attack vector.
