There might have been an unlocked front door but the only door to the ramp

In most places in the USA it's illegal for an exit door to be locked during
business hours. Violates the fire code.

I've seen this quite a bit recently. Not to extract $$s from
pilots, but by order of the TSA on ramps that serve both GA and
commercial traffic. I don't think the TSA worries about fire codes.
