I'm thinking of getting an electronic lock, most likely one Morning Industry so I can use it with the MorningLinc. Currently I have both a deadbolt and regular front door lock. Do most people replace both locks with an electronic one? Or would it be fine to just have the deadbolt as the electric one and have the regular one as non-locking?

I use the deadbolt with a non-locking lever. Since you have to have a key (or a remote) in your hand to lock it, you can't lock yourself out!
