Our attached door is keylocked on both sides, one of these days I need to get around to replacing the one side with a latch, so we get lazy from time to time.

The (in the house, well behaved, Lab) dog alarms at anything moving in the garage and the rest of the house during the night, and then the rest of the dogs go off, which has been known to wake up the neighbors and even my wife. When that happens - and so far it has always been a false alarm - I patrol out from the bedroom with a combat flashlight and a .45, and the flashlight stays off until I need it.
