I do wonder if the OP has the right type of lock on his front

required to dead lock it.

I run 100% on chubb type locks. No door in this house locks on
closing. All require a key.

Live on your own, then? Or just don't care about other's safety?


It may come as a surprise to you but in many parts of the country we
donŒt feel the need to have locked doors when weŒre in the house.

Just have the door swinging open then if the only lock is a Chubb?

You are allowed to have a spring-operated latch and door knobs/levers.

You are allowed to have a spring operated latch (nightlatch) only, if it
meets BS3621.
