We have the GU lock. It can only be opened electrically. Locking is done automatically and mechanically.

This thread comes at the right time. We want to order the front door in 2 months.

A basic question: Do you need an electronic front door lock if you don’t plan to open the door "smartly"?

Or does the mentioned lock actually have advantages compared to a manual lock?

Hmm, matter of personal preference. For us, the door is always fully locked as soon as it closes because the additional deadbolts automatically engage.

A standard door only has the latch bolt.

That means if you forget to lock the door properly with the key and just let it close and leave for work, it is still locked.

Ok, that’s actually a good point. Constantly locking up in the evening does get on my nerves. But is it really worth the extra cost?! How much does this usually cost?

EDIT: Just saw it myself—about 1000€ gross for an automatic 7-point locking system without fingerprint. More with fingerprint. Ouch.
