Does this have a key lock to open from the outside? I want to burglarproof my door with the ability to lock from the outside.

I am so sorry. I hit the wrong button. No, it does not have a key lock from the outside.

Yes, you can lock the bldg. A lock is not built in, so you would have to use your own lock but the door handle does accommodate a lock.

Mine came with no locks, it has the posts that stick through the latch where I can use my own locks. But the current picture looks different than mine (in the area of the latches and locks), it looks like there is a key hole and no posts that stick through the latch.

NO, this unit does not have a key lock, the cover is screwed shut once all connections are made you should not need access again.

It is either in autolock or unlock mode. You can't lock it from outside the door if it in the unlock mode. Actually there is a way to lock it from outside if you really want to but it involve reprogramming the lock to be in always lock mode, so the "flip switch" is disabled. But it is not the right way to do, easier way is to just open the door and flip the switch inside to auto-lock mode and close back the door.

No, you can not even use the key. It locks the door from the outside totally until you turn it off

I installed this lock on the entry door to my rental aprt. It came with two keys. I imgine you can take it to any locksmith or maybe Home Depot to make extras. But I did not give the key to my tenant. Instead, i set up one combination of their choosing. So there is no need to give them the key.

No, it does not come with a lock key - its just the mechanism for opening the door.

Inside and outside. Outside has a punch out point so you can insert a lock if you want. Inside has a lever to open the door. It is cheap though, so be warned

Yes. Ours is mounted outside on the frame so our daughter doesn't have to carry a house key. The view shows it open, but a lid closes over it to protect it from the elements.

The inside does not require a key. It has a small metal turning piece. Call it a "dial" maybe which allows you to open or close the lock from the inside of the door.

It doesn't need to be exterior. Just look for any non-locking door knob. Usually they say "closet" on the package.The only problem you run into with this deadbolt is you can't use them on main entry doors to apartment buildings. You need something that automatically locks when you close the door, and kwikset has yet to implement this lock with their "interconnect" series. It basically does not allow you to just simply carry around your master key. I hope you hear me quickset

The one I ordered did not come with a key either. While it is possible to open without a key it's not easy. DON'T BUY this as others are available that don't require a special key that they will not bother to send to you.

No it does not, but it has holes that come together to put a combination or keyed lock in it in several spots.

No you do not need a key to lock the door from the outside. As far as how it's done, it has some sort of mechanism that auto- locks quickly after you unlock the door. You can however use the key to lock and unlock this doorknob also. This door knob will always use the auto-lock feature and cannot be bypassed. Schlage however makes the same type of doorknob without the auto lock feature where you can use the keypad to unlock the door, but need to use the key to lock from the outside.

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.
