Central locking for houses

Hi,

I have a nasty feeling that one of the great unwashed got into my house
last night.  Alarm sounded at 2:30AM and when I went to investigate all was
in order except for the smell of stale tobacco smoke in the conservatory -
when I investigated further one of the doors was unlocked (our fault I
believe).  I think that the scroat must have tried the door, strolled in,
tripped the alarm and fled empty handed.

This is conjecture because all was exactly as we had left it and the doors
between the conservatory (no PIR) and the PIR that tripped were closed, as
was the external door - I don't know if when fleeing from a house you would
close the doors after you - and had it not been of a suspicion of smoke I'd
not have noticed anything and put it down to a false alarm.

This has spooked my wife, so I have been investigating "Central
Locking" - it would only have to be deadbolts on external doors - I
can't believe it would be a difficult thing to install.  Does anyone have
it?  Know anything about it?

TIA

Tim.
