Wireless Security System deadbolts with door handle that locks – how to disable door locks

lock

We installed a wireless security system to eliminate keys for entry into the home. This works well for the dead bolt, but the door handle has the lever on the inside to turn and lock. To enter, you have to have a key. What is the best solution without tearing up the door handle lock for future owners?

I would simply leave it, and not use that lock. That way if your wireless deadbolt breaks, or you need some extra privacy, you can still lock the house.

Failing that, just shove something in the hole in the frame so you cant engage the lock. Easy to reverse if needed.
