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?
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!
