Hello,
we need to decide on the front door for our new build.
We can choose between:
A door with a 5-point locking system (standard)
or a door with a 3-point automatic locking system (extra cost of 160€) that automatically locks itself but can always be opened from the inside.
The disadvantage of the 3-point automatic locking is that it only has 3 locking bolts instead of 5.
The advantage is that the door is always locked, so you don’t have to remember to lock it.
Has anyone had experience with the automatic locking system?
Which door would you recommend?

You only need the key to unlock the door when you come home.For me, that would be the tricky part: I think people might often leave the house without their keys since they don’t need them otherwise. At least, that would be the case for me.M

That would be the case for me as well. That’s why our front door has an external handle; otherwise, I would probably lock myself out every other day when just going to the garden, shed, and so on.

Apparently, we live in different door worlds. For me, opening and closing a door is a routine and practiced action that doesn’t need optimization. I also tend to see the potential downside of such features. However, I understand that younger people enjoy them, even though I would find that annoying.
What I want to emphasize is that I often detect a basic underlying fear in daily life from many descriptions and worst-case scenarios, which, fortunately, is foreign to me.
I believe it makes no difference for children growing up how the lock is designed or whether there is an extra fall protection or other safety device on the stairs. Usually, it’s the tech-savvy dad who wants this... which is okay in itself.
There is a justification for every measure since the first time something bad happened, and there is always a worse scenario that supposedly justifies the next gadget.
In total, these are things that add to the construction costs without actually improving the house itself.
For the original poster, whether triple, fivefold, or even sevenfold locking, these are all gimmicks. No burglar wants anything to do with your front door.
