Default Hello all, question about locks

Do what Mr. Meehan said. Go to a locksmith. If you want referrals, ask at
some small merchants where you shop regularly. Somebody has to know the name
of someone they like.

DEADBOLTS generally dont work as the original poster wanted. deadbots
are much more secure and you cant accidently lock yourself out of your
house.

honestly deadbots are the far better choice

It's still a good idea to have two locking points on the door.

And have a key with you when you go out, whether you think you've left
the door unlocked or not. It's also convenient when you go out the
back door and want to come in the front.

Absolutely.

And although using the same key has advantages, so does using
different keys.
