my block of flats has a combination for entry, and generally I leave the door to my own flat unlocked.
my friends in lincoln whom we visit have a combination on their door. some of their friends just come in (and call "hello"), some of them always ring. maybe ringing and then coming through the door is a sane choice in that case (alert them to your presence and then making your way in to find them); it's a big house, and the doors all go into hallways; whereas my current flat the door opens onto the "bedroom".
