Is a door latch required

I inspected a house today that had a really nice wrought iron and glass door to the patio. It had a dead bolt lock that was keyed on the outside but not on the inside and the door had a handle but no latch or place for one. Thoughts and comments?

Was it keyed on the inside?

BS
if the door free swings when unlocked could damage/excessive wear occur
note & move on

So! smarty a*ss what was on the inside… A friggin’ screen door latch?
My question still stands.

iron & glass door can’t have a screen door latch if screen isn’t present
we just call those door latches

Thanks. It stays in place when shut and requires a fair amount of pressure to open.
