landlord lock

I looked at the Doorknobs and Deadbolts from this website
http://www.landlordlocks.com/
What kind of the lock should I purchase ?
785 Double Cylinder Deadbolt
Keyed on the inside and outside
780 Single Cylinder Deadbolts
Keyed on the outside with a latch on the inside

Personally I like double Cylinder but Keyed on the inside and outside. Will you please let me know your opinion ? Thanks.

I am a new landlord.

Thanks.

Frances

a cylinder with key access on both sides in my State is considered a safety hazard. Code enforcement will make you change it to a latch on one side. If there is a fire and someone cannot escape the insurance company can possibly deny covering any claim as well.
