I just installed a new Schlage lockset and noticed that when opening the door from the inside, it automatically unlocks itself. This is super annoying, as I have to reach back around and lock the door a second time as I am leaving. Surely this isn't normal?

Thinking about going with the following window configuration to let more light in from this side of the home. I lost one of my two east-facing windows due to my garage addition, so I want to make up for the loss of natural light. As of now, there is a single octagon on that front upper wall, which isn't cutting it. I'm leaning full grid or partial grid. Grids on the trapezoids may look odd because of the angle, and no grid looks a little too bare. Opinions? Also open for alternate suggestions. I also considered a single arch head transom window in this location, but I kind of like the three separate windows, which essentially create a transom look Notice how the corners of the trapezoids tie in with the bird boxes on the gable ends. And I could make the center window the same dimensions as the upper half of the narrower double hung windows on the left of the house for some cohesiveness.
