Hi there, I have a detached garage that I don't use for parking, and I'm considering replacing the regular garage door with French doors because I mainly use it for storage. Is it possible to simply replace the doors without doing a complete renovation at this time? Additionally, would I need any permits for this change? Thanks in advance!

I have a front door that locks automatically from the outside, and I’d like to change it so it doesn’t do that. I’ve locked myself out a few times already! Can someone advise what part I need to replace? Just to clarify, the door has a handle with a twist lock on the inside, and it uses multipoint locking with bolts at the top and bottom. When I close the door, it can’t be opened from outside. If I lift the handle from the inside, the bolts pop out. Should I replace the handle, the cylinder, or the lockset to prevent it from self-locking?
