I am looking to change the doorknob on my bedroom door with no lock to one with the following features:
1) Can be traditional knob or lever design
2) Key on the outside
3) Button or twisty knob on the inside
4) Push button or twist knob to lock door from inside
5) Twisting the knob or turning the lever from the inside unlocks the door
6) Closing the door unlocks the door
7) Screw holes at the 3 o' clock and 6 o' clock position
This way, I cannot lock myself out of my bedroom by accident, as closing the door will open the lock. If I am in the room, I can lock it,
and if I exit the room, I can use the key to lock it, but I cannot lock myself out.
I found a few products that do this, but they require making holes in the 12 o' clock and 6 o' clock position, and the screw holes in my door are at the 3 o' clock and 9 o' clock position. I don't want to/cannot make new holes in the door.
Does anyone know of any products in the $20 to $50 range that meet these specs?
The Best AB F109 here and the Best AB F109 here are what I have in mind, since they unlock if the door is closed. But these appear to be a totally different, "commercial" size than what I have here at home, and the products are very expensive.
