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?

Must be. I've never locked myself out.

Once. In 1969. And it was a B&B, so I just had to ring the bell.

Most people are only saved a lot of money and inconvenience by having a
hidden key outside somewhere.

Good grief.

Highly insecure. I suppose you could leave a key with a 'trusted'
neighbour and have them come and snoop.

(I think we are rare exceptions.)
