After having been locked out of my 2nd floor college condo one too many times (the last straw leaving me to have to climb over the balcony wall in my socks to get back in), I disable any auto locks on doors as soon as I see them.
My coop's human door does have a keyed lock but I've never seen a need to use it, as the coop is fully surrounded by the run so it's unlikely that there'd be a predator trying to knock on the door.
