Is it possible to lock the door from the inside of the room? Not very familiar with mortise locks.

with this particular lock, yes you can. it uses a skeleton key, not a lock lever or button you see on the modern door knobs. so, to lock the door, you need to use the key which means - don't loose it. if you have children, you may not want to keep it in the lock like i do (live my my self). so in short, you close the door, turn the key and it's locked.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

There is a lock switch inside of the knob from the inside. By turning that switch you can lock/unlock the door.

Call Pella for a proper lock. Short of that you will have to drill extra holes in your door which is pretty cumbersome.

These locks are mortise type locks used for replacement of same type found in older homes. They are an entirely different mechanism type than modern hardware. The lock is recessed into the door itself and is approx. 4 in x 1 in. The door would have to be solid wood and be mortised out to accommodate this type of lock, which would require cutting out an interior section of the door to accept the lock.

You cannot lock the door from the outside when the lock is in the unlock mode, not even with the key. To the best of my experimentation, it is only possible to lock the door when the lock lever, located above the knob, on the inside panel of the lock is in the lock position.

You do need to lock this particular one from the inside, but you in locked mode you can still egress without doing anything, in other words the door locks on its own. I can't think of a situation where I would need to lock it from the outside. The dead bolt style you can lock from the outside. Hope that helps!

I have found no way to lock it. But its not a deal breaker. I loved it so much I bought another one and I may buy a third one.

the mortise is the part to be cut into the door or piece of furniture into which the lock is to be fitted

I purchased the brushed nickel, and both the deadbolt and the main lock can be locked without a key from the inside. The hardware has a nice satisfying feel and sound of quality and security. I put my deadbolt higher as that is recommended for safety, it is too high to kick in. I was told to do that years ago when I lived in a city.

Although there is a thin tab on both side of the handle for a lock to go through, it is not in any way a "secure" lock. As stated in another answer, case can be easily cut into or the hinges pried apart. It's more of a "I don't want you in here" lock than a "you can't get in here" lock. Do not put anything of value or danger in this case thinking it would be safe.

I never opened the lock from the inside of thats what you mean. Asthetics are ok. Nothing to write home about. No, it cannot be set up to be open sometimes. Its is locked all the time. I dont know if it can be used outside. Both mine are inside.

Yes you can lock it from both sides, with a key or finger print from the out side and with the lever from inside, meaning you can also unlock it without a key or fingerprint from the inside.

I am not sure what a mortise lock is but it works on a standard deadbolt configuration. Hope this helps.

The doors do not come with any kind of lock. However, since the handles have "cut-out" it would be possible to secure them using a chain and padlock or a large padlock.

No. The doors do not have a lock. They only have magnets to keep the doors closed tight.
