I would say that having controlling parents at age 18 is normal, but the fact that they put an automated lock on the OUTSIDE of your door seems quite unusual. In fact, I don't think that anybody should be locking their children's rooms from the outside at ANY age. It's a fire hazard, it prevents you from going to the bathroom, and depending on your jurisdiction it could equate to being held against your will!
For starters, I would find somewhere else to stay, if possible with a friend, emergency, or motel if you can afford it, pack your things, and GO ASAP! Find a job, earn some money, and find a new place to live where your parents won't find you.
Is it normal that I am being controlled this way?

Out of curiosity, are you a boy or a girl?

Alright. Might be easier to find an emergency shelter in your area (women's only).
Regardless, good luck and hope things turn out better for you in the end.
