Well, apart from the fact that you just know they'd constantly lock themselves out of the fortress by standing on the wrong side of the door...  :P

I'm actually wondering this, too. That, and why we don't have keys.

That could be fixed if we were able to choose the direction for them to lock the door from.

And f*** your wooden swords I've my dwarves inside.
F*** your bins of cloth I've my dwarves inside.
If you're looking to be killed I've my dwarves outside.

Talking about walling in (same problem as hypothetical locking in), easier fix would be just standing from same direction that dorf get to here in first place (in 95-99% cases it would be right direction). Unfortunately, game places x,y coordinates around goal tile always in same way, regardless of need.

Dwarf Fortress - where the primary reason to prevent death of your citizens is that it makes them more annoying then they were in life.

Because dwarves having to walk over to a door to lock it isn't implemented yet.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

It is deliberately left as is in this way.

We're actually fortress-controlling humongous fungi.
Our roots are far below the circus, and also invisible.

Can we all agree this is ULTIMATE CANON and let the subject die?
