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?

Would you now recommend a front door with a triple automatic locking mechanism? So that you don't have to lock it manually every time?I think the last >40 posts contained enough information for you to make this €160 decision on your own now. Or is something still missing?
I simply took the lock with me because a door that is always locked provides more security than one that can be locked in multiple places but still needs to be operated manually.
The cost of just over 100€ (around $110) didn’t really stand out, especially since the door panel itself was several times more expensive. However, this doesn’t mean we wasted the money; every expense was carefully calculated.

What security class do the ground floor windows have?

Isn’t it great when you can spend so much time thinking about such things? I can deliberate for weeks over which wall lamp to buy or whether to choose bulbs of 2 or 2.6 watts. Then the stress starts with lumens and everything else related. 😀
True, one should be aware of this and put it into proper perspective.
Well, I don’t have any more time, I have to pick out bedding... that usually takes quite a while...
