I think it really depends. I used the lock on my door for more than privacy. I had legos, models, Baseball cards, etc in my room and also had alot of youngsters running around(still do.) 3-4 year olds don't care that a door is locked, or that some of the things in my room are worth more than their souls.
We always had generic locks though, the ones you can open with a penny. It wasn't really meant to keep an adult out permenently, just to stop them from walking in on you. Since it was a kids room you didn't have to worry about them losing the key.
