Can you lock the door from the outside when it is in unlock mode? Do you need to turn it to Lock mode before you exit? Or is there another way?

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.

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.

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.

I haven't tried to lock it from the outside when it's in unlock mode, but it would make sense to me that you'd have to do this from the inside, since the knob that changes it to unlock mode is a mechanical knob.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

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!

yes you can unlock it from the non locking side.it comes with a pin to unlock I recommend to keep the pin on top of the door casing

It doesn't latch automatically. You need to turn the knob after closing the door from the inside, and you need to lock with the key when leaving from the outside.

You can leave it unlocked. I leave the key in the box so I wont lose the key incase I want to lock it.

There's no lock but there is a removable solid plastic panel for the inside of the door. With the panel in place nothing can go through. It is not removable from the outside as far as I can tell.

In my experience the unit has never automatically locked, but then again I don't have or use any automated controlling apps on my phone or tablet either. So the only way to lock when outside is the key like all regular locks or faster is to just hit the Schale button which is right above the numbers and it electronically locks. Of course inside the you simply turn the knob.

I just recently reviewed the owner's manual for that same question. It appears that the auto lock feature is on or off and if on, relocks itself in 30 seconds. In my opinion, that is way too fast and having to reenter my code to unlock the door to come back in. Hope this helps.

The door can be unlocked by setting the door to training mode. Read the directions in the operation manual for details. However, as for have the chip lock the door, I'm pretty sure this is not possible.

1. You can't lock it from the inside. It opens as a normal door. You would need to add a deadbolt. I don't use anything else.2. No. It's always locked to someone in the outside, and always open to someone in the inside.3. Yes.

To clarify, since you mentioned outside, this is an indoor doorknob. There is a slot kind of like a flathead screw driver slot that you can turn to either lock or unlock it. I've used a dime for this.

No this lock can not be left unlocked. When the door closes it locks. You have to use the key to unlock just as if it was a conventional lock.

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

The inside door handle will always open the door. The lock/unlock buttons relate only to the outside door hamdle. In the lock mode it is always locked except then the entry code is activated, and it will then reset itself to lock. In the unloce mode the outside handle is always unlocked.

You have to use the key to lock or unlock it. No way to accidently close it or lock it without a key.

Turn bottom 'knob' to the right. This locks door from inside. When you are leaving home, turn it to the right when door is open; then close door and it is locked. The bottom knob is a little stiff at first, but after a few turns it is fine. Hope this helps. RS

It auto-locks, so there is no need to lock from the inside. It has an always-open mode if you want it to stay unlocked.

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.
