Self locking is a nightmare in the country when you spend half your time
outside the house in the garden

Never known any night latch that can't be locked open.

But I'd guess that is too complicated for you?

Are you the kind of super-person who can actually remember to do this
*every* time?
Most people are only saved a lot of money and inconvenience by having a
hidden key outside somewhere.


It's too complicated for me too, FWIW!

Where i've wanted a night latch type of lock i've used rollerbolt types,
can't lock yerself out but can easily lock the door behind you when
you're in.
