    Yes, it is perfectly fine, and as a matter of security, alandlord should have locks on individual rooms in an HMO, especially if the property has shared accommodation.

    The locks should be Europrofile, which has a key operated on the outside and a thumb turn on the room side, the lock should be of good quality.

    If the lock is a traditional mortice type, then the internal keyhole should be blocked off and a bolt fitted to the internal of the door
