There are bolts with a clutch, so they are always locked from the outside and unlocked from the inside. Pretty handy.
Damn, didn’t know they made keys that automatically lock the doors when I leave the house so I can’t forgetfully leave the doors unlocked.

How would that even work? How would they know when the door was closed so they could automatically lock the deadbolt? Or would you need to use a key to close the door from the outside?

The one I’ve seen was mechanical, not electric. The interior handle can open the door irrespective of the door being locked or not.

They are expensive, but they do exist, it’s called a mechanical keyless deadbolt. A local makerspace put one on their back entrance so that members/employees can come and go after hours without having to give everyone a key or use a smart app.

Ohhh, there is a keypad but it’s mechanical. Neat!

You can’t figure out how to lock your door? Damn I don’t think I’d admit that.

You can’t read? Damn I don’t think I’d admit that.
In case it still isn’t clear, I said I am forgetful.
