I have a few sneaky tiptoeing but loveable miscreants as part of my family and I would like to keep them out of my office. I’m sure some of you can relate.
My problem is that most of the locks I’m finding are big, heavy, super-secure deadbolts. I don’t care about the actual security, I just want a simple interior lock that I can open with a pin/NFC/fingerprint and also log entry and exits in HA. Does anyone know of a lock that’s more “lightweight” than the common options. After all, if they make it into my office there will be evidence all over in the form of fingerprints on the window of my PC case! :-D. I just need a mild deterrent.
The wife already nixed a motion sensor turning all the lights red and triggering horror movie sounds.


That only works if you want to lock it from one side.
Presumably when they left their office.
You are allowed to have one on both sides of the door you know
I suppose, but that’s not a fun or particularly attractive solution imho.
Neither is a single sliding deadbolt on one side
Well, yes, I would agree.
