Just about to order some new locks for my house, and I'm contemplating switching the inside to thumb locks for a couple of them. Probably going to go with Avocet locks but we were previously put off on a door we did in the past as the thumb lock design auto locked on leaving, so really east to lock yourself out. I just want a manual thumb on the inside, but still use key to lock the door on the outside when leaving.

Interested to hear your thoughts

fyi there is 25mm clearance around the door key hole to turn it
