Yeah, you'll think that's a REAL good idea when the fire starts.
Why can't you just tell the kid to stay in his room, and then if he disobeys you there are consequences. Sure, that's a little more work than locking him in (which btw most likely violates your local fire codes) but parenting isn't supposed to be easy.
