You can try going into your Settings and under Security you should find reference to how you'd go about normally locking (or not) your device. Choices can include Not Locking leaving it to a simple swipe to open, a Pin, a Pattern, a Password, Touch to Unlock (fingerprint if so equipped) and Facial ID if so equipped. You can try making your device in a permanent unlocked state so that when your third party lock screen unlocks then you'll go right into the phone. Just remember if you ever remove your third party lock screen app that you'll need to follow the aforementioned to restore your stock lock screen.

I don't think third party lock screens are really worth the trouble. I mean perhaps if you're running an old version of Android and you're looking for added functionality like how we used to have at one time lock screen widgets with a swipe left or right. But most nowadays allow for various notifications which seems more than enough...
