Unfortunately the Chubb BS3621 auto-deadlocking rimlock is a bit of a
dog. The plastic handle falls off (made of Unstickium) and worst of
all, it has a tendency to fire the deadlocker of the main bolt while the
door is only partially closed. This makes the door look as if it's
locked, but a light push opens it.

It's also damn near impossible to get keys cut for them that work, even
from a Chubb specialist.
