I don't think there is anything that's designed to accommodate a dead
bolt right out of the box.  He might have to use the latch keeper and
position switches to control the plate until the dead bolt re-enters the
strike.  Don't know if that's even possible and it may reduce the life
of the solenoid if the door's held open for long periods.  If the OP is
concerned about someone fiddling with the lock set, why not use a
mortise lock and put a big metal plate on the door that will cover
everything when the door's closed?
