So, I recently moved into a new house, and the door to the garage is a bit interesting. There’s no door handle, just a standard bolt lock that can be locked/unlocked from the inside without a key, and can only be unlocked/locked from the outside with a key. And, of course, you can’t lock yourself out accidentally.

This is perfectly functional, but it’s a bit annoying that there’s no separate doorknob to actually open the door, and of course, it doesn’t close/stay closed unless you engage the lock.

Is there a Kwikset doorknob I can buy that will still allow key-less unlocking/locking from the inside and unlocking/locking from the outside with a key. Ideally, I’d like to reuse the old keys and key cylinder, and not have a setup where one can accidentally lock oneself out.
