What would you recommend to screw on to a porch door on the inside for added security that would engage when you closed the door going outside and disengage when you opened the door to come back in cheers..

Sliding or swing Door? Wood Upvc?

Like Rows said another lock, like a chub or what do you have in mind?

Sorry i should have said its an old teak door that will be changed down the line just looking to tide myself over since I've to replace the back door thanks.. just looking for an idea of something that can be screwed on the inside of the door that would give extra security to the door when you close it thanks

So you have something like a night latch, "Yale" lock already?

I'd go a Chub lock knee hight.

Something like this Mortice, if your handy with tools, easy to fit.
