Default garage service door lock

Does anyone know of a IRC code that would prevent a builder from using an interior lockset on the garage service door?

Its the type that you can push a pin into it to unlock from the garage side to get in the house. This is all it has, no deadbolt present. The garage has an opener installed.

Its not habitable, therefore no lock is required......matter of fact I dont have a deadbolt on my garage door, but I do have a large Akita whom we have appropriately named BEAR ..... and there to back him up is Mr. H&K (plus one throw down knife)
