If the room is occupied (meaning checked in and not yet checked out, not that the occupant is necessarily in the room), housekeepers should only leave the door propped open or use the security latch or deadbolt to leave it open a crack when the housekeeper is physically present at/in the room. It's not acceptable to leave an occupied room unlock when the housekeeper goes on to another room, takes a break, leaves to obtain more supplies, etc.
