is there a delay and "chirping" when you open the door that gives you a few seconds to enter the code or do you have to use the Keyfob to enter without the alarm screaming? Thanks

no ... the system is very limited and i had to devise an external electrical circuit to actually use it. there is a remote key device which you can use to deactivate for entry. the main problem is that there is only enough sensors for one window plus one door and no hope or expanding the system beyond that. in other words, if you need to protect three or more entry points -- two windows and a door -- or two doors and a window -- etc -- you're screwed.

works great but you have to turn off alarm before you set the alarm off, no cherp

There is only about a five second delay, and for me I have the keypad in another room to keep a robber from easily un-plugging it when entering and harder to find. So I always use the key fob.

Yes, there is a delay. Good news about additional sensors! You can order them directly through Swanns! I just ordered four additional door sensors and an additional key FOB today; the cost of additional sensors, etc. is only $15.00 each!

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

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.

The controls are inside the door when you pop it open. There is a button on the outside to click to get an automatic one minute, that is what I usually use. It actually works (and looks) pretty slick.

Hello, Both features time delay or unlocks lock as soon you enter a valid code

The keypad does not speak the name of the sensor. It does beep when the entry sensors are tripped, but the speaker is way too quiet and is very hard to hear in my opinion. This is one of the more frustrating aspects of the system, and has contributed to several inadvertent alarms at our home. I have spoken with SimpliSafe and there is apparently no method to turn up the volume on the keypad. We have used a GE/Interlogix system in the past where this is not a problem, but the SimpliSafe keypad is definitely ineffective as an alert that you have tripped the alarm upon entry. Changing this should be a priority for any new design. The keypad does not speak the name of the sensor.

It is more of a continuos beep, more like...... beepbeepbeepbbeep..but it is not a very loud beep....and you have to hold the tracker/locator button down. It is great for finding my keys, the tv remote and my cell phone. Hope this helps!

Yes and sometimes I wouldn't even get a delayed alert. A friend stopped by my house (has a key) and told me afterwards. I never was notified. I returned it for this reason.

The signal that activates the alarm, including the siren, is relayed through the main unit. Once you activate the panic button the signal is then relayed to the main unit and from there transmitted to the siren. I'm not sure if you're asking if you need the main unit to use the panic button but if you are, the answer is yes. My system works okay although I wish the siren was louder since I live in a rural area and my nearest neighbor is pretty far away. If you live in the suburbs or apartment building then it should be loud enough. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints about the the system. It does take a little bit of learning to understand how it all works but not that bad and I think it's well worth the price when compared to other units.

The Master Code must start with a Zero (0) and end with Pound (#). When it beeps and flashes (a very short time interval) youcan open the door from the outside. It will always open from the inside.

supposedly it will activate if the door knob is turned then the door is pushed but not successfully opened as in a door that is locked. In other words, the alarm senses the jiggle of the door. You'd have to tweek the sensitivity for it to sense the push of the door but not trigger as a false alarm.

Yes, it's called test mode but works just fine. It's meant to test a sensor but I leave it on all the time to be notified when my kids open a door. It's actually a dual chime like ding...dong. Not ding. I don't have a motion sensor installed though. If you are familiar with programming alarm panels you can configure the motion not to chime when in test mode.

Yes it does provide an audible beep is you exceed accepted accension rates. As I recall there are other alarms that can be set for depth and time, I say that because Ive never used them, but I believe I recall seeing that in the "Alarm" setup.

I haven't tested it's limits, so I don't have a technical answer for you. I just walk around the house with the button depressed. The beeping sounds immediately, even when keys are inside pockets/purses/couch cushions, etc. Makes items easy to pinpoint location.

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

You have to move it for the alarm to trigger. Opening the door won't do it, but closing it will. You can adjust how sensitive it is, and how long it takes to arm after turning the key. So if you move it, it will start beeping and if you don't disarm it, it will trigger the alarm. Don't know how long the 9V battery lasts, because I just got mine a few weeks ago.
