I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work

Features I want in door hardware: * always unlocked from the inside * always locked from the outside * single keyhole on the outside * momentary unlock with a key * 12V DC momentarily unlock * operates as normal when electronics are down I'll wire it to the smarthome separately

I actually really don't like smartlock deadbolts, because it takes more power to physically move the deadbolt so the battery life is worse. I want it to be hardwired to mains power. (with battery backup and physical key secondary backup of course)
