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?

Thank you for your responses.
I just wanted to know if there are any disadvantages to the triple automatic locking system?
If I have overlooked this, I apologize.
And with the triple automatic locking system, is it definitely possible to retrofit a different lock cylinder and a Nuki lock?

It does happen, but mostly because locksmiths almost always use heavy tools, even though they could easily pick the lock with a lock pick. This is possible even with so-called security cylinders (though not all types), and definitely with standard locking cylinders. Naturally, the anti-manipulation protection has to be destroyed, but the cylinder can almost always be "picked." I witnessed this firsthand once. Burglars don’t usually do it this way because it takes longer than the well-known three to five minutes.
