The only spell to lock doors I remember is the harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Locking_Spell which prevents people from manually opining the door it was placed on. This would've been a problem because harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Rubeus_Hagrid , someone who officially isn't supposed to have a harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Wand , couldn't use the harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Unlocking_Charm to get in and care for harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Fluffy (which was probably his responsibility, who else would feed a three headed dog?).
idk why Dumbledore didn’t put the spell on it to keep it from being magically unlocked seems as though that’s all that would need to be done to protect it, so long as there were no windows. Also I would think that house elves did the feeding of fluffy, you’d think Harry would have noticed Hagrid taking frequent trips to feed him.

harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Albus_Dumbledore wouldn't risk the safety of harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/House-elves (What can be seen by how he treated harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Dobby ). And Hagrid was harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Keeper_of_Keys_and_Grounds so it was his job to move around the grounds and the castle. It wouldn't be weird for Hagrid to be seen outside of his hut.

I think because maybe if they made it in they would die anyways, unless you have someone as smart as Hermione (or me if I was there) with you
Good point but that reminds me with Hagrid being keeper of keys, they could have Dumbledore or Hagrid keep the key then Hagrid could take the key when needed and feed fluffy with it. But that wouldn’t make for as interesting of a plot now would it 😏.
You know what after reading the article about the locking spell i’m not sure that would work, however I think that maybe Dumbledore could lift the charm when needed.
