For security reasons I want change our front door lock to a "Lift And

need to change the whole lock?


I don't think such a lock exists, but lots of people with them
falsely believe the door locks when you lift the handle, and
get burgled as a result of it not actually being locked at all.


Looking at the pictures it seems that your lock mechanism is an almost
intregal part of the door, obviously it must be replaceable but can't tell
by your pictures. Retain the existing cylinder though.
Some multi points do deadlock by lifting the handle, the only way to unlock
is by key.
