Can this lock be used on the side of a garage door, where the manual interior slide is already located. I need ability to lock from outside.

This is only a replacement for the original type of lock....(to prevent the cam from rotating the horizontal locking bars on the inside) This could not be used for anything else....

Don't know my lock is in the center and has an exterior handle to turn and release the door. The dead bolt is key operated from the outside.You may have to drill a hole in your door but I think it might work. It's probably not going to fit naturally.

Being that this lock is made for doors with a slide-bar on both sides that lock into slots in the track I don't see how this would work. I just replaced my old door with a new one and now have the same side slide you have and it doesn't look like this lock is compatible.

If the sliders interlock on one end I doubt it depending on the door type. If your doors open from the left or right side you would need a lock on both ends. As far as lifting the center slider it all depends on how much space above that door to lift it off. but then the sliders do interlock.Interlocking means there is a 1/2 inch or so lip turned back on itself and overlaps the adjoining door lip the length of the door.

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.

You will need to purchase two locks, They come one to a package.Yes you need to install one lock at both ends of the slider doors but the middle section will not need one.You will be very pleased with the security when done.

anytime you close the door it is locked this means no one from the outside can get in without the code now if your on the inside it will open with handle so if what your asking can you lock it from the inside the answer is no

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

It is supposed to be the ONLY sliding door lock that prevents the door from being jammed open or lifted out of the track. There are videos about it on You Tube that I found were very helpful.

No the lock is on the top of the gate door. You just slide it to the side and lift a little. There's no outside lock. It doesnt open all that easily but we've made it work just fine.

Lock works great. Not an outside lock. I put it on a storage room inner closet in my garage to keep teens out of it.

Yes, definitely. Your only concern will be how to keep the sliding door you use "secure" when you are not at home. You can put a 1-1/2" dowel in the track, or even some of those sliding door locks from the hardware store, BUT if it is a wide pet panel, a thief an remove the panel and slip in. Fortunately mine is in a locked backyard, but we're working on that problem for my daughter's place, as her slider is more accessible to public.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

Schlage button can be used to light up entire keypad at night. It's also used when programming for this lock. (On a keyless deadbolt lock it's used as a quick way to lock door with using key)Yes, this can be used outside. I have one on front door (under covered porch) a one on the shed entrance (exposed to a lot more sun, freezing temps, wind, rain and snow)

I am only using it to open our community gate. I believe it can be programmed for other functions...but not sure about vehicle locks. Try to contact the company.

The one button replacement worked for my garage door. I don't have a lock on my garage door. I don't know what the other 2 buttons are for and thought it might be for a lock or light.

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.

I would recommend you NOT buy this lock. I used this lock on my shed, that is located outside, and it didn't hold up. Something happens to the plastic parts in cold/hot weather, and my code eventually stopped working (1yr old). I just had to cut this lock off! Now I am using the "New Master Lock 653D", and I can already feel that it's sturdier.

It certainly isn't designed to work for that. I have used Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ( Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ) and it works better than you would think it would from its picture.
