There are locks in common use that require a key on both sides, and need a single key to lock and unlock. They can also be changed such that the inside and outside keys are different. For example: http://www.sears.com/schlage-b62n625-deadbolt-keyed-2-sides-bright-chrome/p-SPM7705846522?prdNo=11&blockNo=11&blockType=G11 However, your analogy of a lock and unlock key for the same lock still holds. I'm not sure I've ever heard about one of those.
