This needs to be done on Phone.apk and it's not too hard, but will increase the amount of apks that need to be changed; it's already not only the framework files, but small changes like this will broaden more and more the number of patched files to distribute with only very small changes.
In my opinion this kind of stuff makes more sense to be in mods like
this one which can be applied over any rom version or any other existing mods. In fact, it's on my TODO list implementing that over there

(i know there are apps to disable the lockscreen but it would be nice to have it inside the mod)

I removed the 'No lock screen' option from Deluxe Settings when I saw that you can select 'None' as screen lock in Settings.
But later I saw that you no longer could have 'No lock screen' when using pin/pattern lock screen.
Will be added again. Maybe even as a lock screen toggle button on the quick settings panel.

One suggested improvement for the secure toggle button:
Clearing the secure status is reset after reboot, but it would be interesting to have a timeout feature for this even without reboot. Example: I have a secure lockscreen but if I'm doing something frequently, I'd push Secure toggle to turn it off, but with a configured timeout, say 1h.
Until the timeout expires, I would be able to wake the phone and dismiss the lockscreen without pin, etc., but after that period the phone would be locked again (ideally immediately, but could also be on next screen off).
Waking the device, or even toggling the Secure button on and off again, would NOT reset the timer.
This way, if the phone is stolen, whoever picks it up would either see it already locked, if the 1h period has elapsed, or be able to access it during at most 1h (and of course do what he likes with calls, contacts, ...) but not beyond that period. Since the definition of the lockscreen pattern/pin/... cannot be turned off without confirming the current value, that part of the settings is safe.
It this could be implemented, it would provide a lot more convenience at the sacrifice of a bit of security (the ratio depends on the timeout each of us configured), but not permanent. Currently one could simply toggle the secure setting to off and have eternal access to the device provided it's never restarted. With the behavior of immediately locking the screen when the time elapses, even if the screen is on, it couldn't even be circumvented by keeping the screen awake the whole time.
