i want to lock only during graveyard, as its a motel. It needs to be open to public from 6am till 11 pm. Do they need to press a button to go in and out?

We'll if you just want the magnetic lock to work at certain hours of the day, then you can just simply unplug it, connect an on/off switch or even use a timer (like the ones used for Christmas lights).

No an adult can not open from the outside. We had a major storm come through a few weeks ago and I went outside to make sure everything was moved so nothing would take flight. Well apparently I only had the lock half out and it simehow managed to lock as I was outside. I tried my hardest to get in side. Rain was pouring and I finally talked my 5 year old into getting the lock back out just in the nick of time. Talk about a close call. I definelty feel safer about someone trying to get in.

You have to push either the remote button or the button on the lock. It does not automatically lock when you shut the door.

yes, it tells you in the instructions. you can set it on vacation mode and user codes will not unlock the lock.

To lock - just push the round button. To unlock - turn the lever either up or down.

The doors close shut, but there is no lock. I can tell you they do not open easily on their own. I've been very happy with my purchase. If you want you can add a latch lock to it.

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

Mine is suppose to lock but does not. Do not buy if you are looking for security.

You have to press the button and lock it. It does not have the automatic locking feature.

With this lock it you must manually turn the key to lock it, so there would be virtually no way you can get locked in. Even if you accidently locked it without the pin engaging in the lock, it cannot be pulled shut locking you in because the latch would lock so that the pin cannot engage...if that makes sense to you. The final answer is an emphatic NO.

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

We have one installed. It is wonderful not having to use a key when leaving - just push the "lock" button. On entry, no fumbling for keys - just the code. When we're home or in the yard during the day, we usually leave ours unlocked, and it does not lock automatically. So either older/different model, or there is a setting. There was a one-time set up using some switches as I recall. Does NOT need to be reset after changing the batteries.

For security reasons, the lock was designed to be back to "lock" position within three seconds automatically after a correct code is entered. This security feature will prevent a "forgot-and-left-unlock" after an entry. However, if you need to open/close frequently without the need for security, you can consider setting up "passage mode" with one-key touch open without entering an access code.

No. You place the key back, close the lid and twist the knob to relock. This will reset the code for the next access.

Yes. You press the button down and slide the lock up to keep the button pressed.

Mine is a dead bolt and I have to use my remote or the key to lock the door after I go out. When I come back in I can turn the knob to lock it. I hope that answers your question. If not I will try again.

You can install it with a push button on the inside to open it. That's what I did. Yes it automatically locks when you close the gate.
