can this keypad door handle be set to be "un-locked" when the door closes? other door handles like this automatically lock when the door is closed.

I called on this and they told me that if you use the code to unlock the door, it will auto lock itself. However, if you use the Unlock button on the inside, it will stay unlocked until you re-lock it. What I do not like, however, is that there is no indicator of whether it's locked or unlocked, so you have to push the button to know for sure.

This lock does autolock after a specific amount of seconds when the keypad is used for entry, or the unlock button is depressed on the side opposite the keypad. The lock itself does not know whether the door is closed or open, so the state of the lock does not change based on door position. However, if you are skilled enough with Z-wave, and have a window/door sensor (such as the model schalge makes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Q5CTBE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ), then you can program the locks behavior yourself. Nothing in the manual (which is terrible for anything except installation) points to even being able to turn off the autolock, or change the duration of seconds till autolock, but this behavior can be modified with z-wave commands.

Not sure what you mean by autolock but if it is opened you must lock it with a key or by using the keypad. Simply a joy to have!

I have not experienced that but one thing I found that is disturbing is that when the closing sequence has started and the unit beeps, if you manually close the door, it opened it back up when the sequence came to the end. That could be a problem if one leaves without checking. Also this gadget works well but it goes through batteries pretty quick and the flashing red light does not tell you which unit, the door sensor or the wall unit, needs replacement. Anyway, so far so good but if you do not have an outside keypad and forget your closer, this thing will lock you out.

If you set the lock as described in the instructions it should ""lock". Make sure the handle is in a vertical position after you close the door or it will not lock. I'm guessing if you got to the point of getting the lights to work it should be goo to go. DON'T LOOSE THE KEY! Make sure the batteries are fresh.

Yes, you just unlock the door from the inside for access without the keypad, and when the door is in the lock position inside, the keypad must be used. Easy product to use - we are very happy with it.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

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.

I have purchased and self-installed 9 of these for my business. When we close the door the knob automatically locks. We never use the key or key pad to lock the doors. Also, if the door remains open for more than 30-45 seconds; the door knob will automatically lock (makes a very noticeable locking sound) when the door is finally closed it will lock automatically without having to use the key or key pad. I think you need to set the door knob to the auto lock feature. This can be found by taking off the back panel on the door knob where the batteries are installed. Once you take off the panel (remove the small screw only, no need to take the entire knob off) you will find a small switch which controls the auto lock feature. Make sure it's set to auto lock. This should fix your problem. As a side note... I absolutely love these locks. I have had them for 3 months and we have not experienced any issues. Great security feature for your home or business. I will be purchasing more for my home.

Mine does not. To lock it, I simply touch the "schlage" icon on the outside touchpad when I leave. The unit then locks and it flashes a green check mark to confirm that it successfully locked. Possibly, there is a mode to have it lock automatically, not sure though.

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.

I never noticed but I just tested it. The door will always swing back into a closed position but does not always "click" in a locked mode. If you are looking to keep it wide open from time to time this might be a nuisance. We always need it shut so it's fine for that purpose. Hope that helps :)

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

The lock hangs under the door knob so it shouldn't block unlocking and opening the door. I have found that when the door knob is very close the edge of the door the lock sometimes gets in the way of closing the door and an extra hand is required to pull the lock off to the side so the door can close. I believe the lever door handles are recommended for limited hand use. The lock would not work in that situation since it wouldn't stay in place on the handle. Door locks that use a remote control like a car keyfob are available and might be a better option for you.

Hi there Kalra my name is Glenn and I am a maintenance Tech, I have had the same entry lock on my apartment door, I am slightly confused, if we are talking about The sclage FE575 plymouth keypad lock,the only thing that is done from outside is pressing the keypad, or using your key,and yes when entering your code is does Click open, other than that maybe the lock is faulty, my advise if it still under warranty and not to old is to send it back to schlage,I hope this shed some light on Your problem, Glenn.

With my safe all you need to do is shut the door turn the handle and it locks on its own. If you still have trouble the tech support was really helpful when my keypad was acting up.

I'm sorry I can't answer that, since I bought my key pad to operate my electric gate. I do have to reenter the code to close it if that helps

"To lock/unlock the keypad, press the center large button and then the star button." - Agilulf, thanks for answering your own question (since it's in the comments, I thought it would help everyone to repost here).
