Default Front door lock complete with handles - what's it called?

OH the troubles I had with this when getting a new upvc front door. Sorry we
only do the secure type, not the handled type, In the end I had to get the
company to cutout the old lock, well the new lock and put in the one I
wanted leaving gaping holes in the edge of the door and refitting a
different plate to the side. Several companies told me it was against the
rules to have a porch door as I wanted it. It reminded me of that old juke.
Sorry sir we get no call for those but you are the third person this
morning wanting it, but due to lack of demand we don't do it.

The existing night latch on our front door is a nuisance because
it's not possible to set it so that it can be left 'unlocked' with
easy access to go in and out without a key.

The door has (relatively) secure keyed deadlocks for when we really
want to lock up.

So I'm looking for a 'front door lock' which has handles on both
inside and outside to replace the night latch. My M-I-L's house has
one so I know such things exist but I can't find anything that looks
like what want at Screwfix or Toolstation. What should I be searching
for, maybe I have the name wrong?
