2 story log cabin door balcony door is openable from inside meaning you don't need a key to get on the balcony but you'll be stuck out there if you don't have a key to get back. It seems like the balcony should need a key to get onto but if your stuck out there you can get back inside without a key. I mean why even make the door lockable if anyone inside can walk right up and open it.
This is a known issue and will be fixed in patch 26 for new houses. For existing houses please page or pm a staff member to have this fixed. Thanks See: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=987&p=4946#p4946
