I am planning to get this gate for my basement. Is this possible to lock and unlock from the inside?

yes, its possible. This type of gate requires a padlock to lock in place, but its simpley a matter of sticking your arm through an opening. Its not "ideal" but its manageable.

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.

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

No. I can't think why that would be necessary. It is either locked or unlocked set on the door itself.

the gate lock is strictly a key to lock or unlock mechanism. it won't lock unless you want it to. hillbilly741 Feb 3.

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;

No, the lock is at the top. There is a piece that flips down to prevent the gate from opening one direction or the other. You can put them both down at the same time which will act like a lock, but you have to manually manipulate these; they will not open when you open the top lock.

I think the lock is coordinated with the signal to open the gate, never tried it with other openers than the one that is sold with the gate hardware though.

Yes, a manual unlock from the inside exists. You can pull down on the release cord and manually open the door. Once the cord is pulled down the opener will freely allow the door to open from inside or outside. There is no way that I am aware of to unlock the opener from the outside without pulling the cord first. There arother openers with a battery backup that work when the power is out but this one does not have a battery backup.

I don't think you can really lock from the inside: there is a button and a small lever that they can easily push/rotate to unlock and get out. Lever is mechanical and can not be locked or prevented from rotating. It is a fine lock, though, and fit and finish are superb

There is no lock, but the door and the box itself are made with heavy enough material that installing a lock would be fairly simple and secure.

No it does not lock/unlock with a key and it can only be locked/unlocked from the inside

On the top of the gate you need to pull the latch back and use your other hand to lift the gate up and over. The fog will not be able to open this one. I really like the gate. It's sturdy, once assembled I haven't had to to a thing. It's up and I use the gate to go in and out of the room. I found the directions a little tricky.

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

Yes it is possible. There is a place under the handle for the padlock to go through.

Not readily, think about how it functions, and that it slides OVER and PAST the wall/door frame. One could be devised (have already thought about 3 different ways to do that) but it's not a part of the door slider design or function. You could readily design some sort of tongue and slot sort of latch, and attach a lock, or devise any number of latches that the door itself would connect to, but this door-slider system is only designed to manage the movement of the door, nothing else. We are using ours for light and privacy, but a latch is not part of our needs, courtesy takes care of that. If you decide to do something like a latch (again, would not be difficult, just have to look at your installation environment), don't forget to allow for emergency access to the room from the outside in case of some accident or sickness on the other side of the door.
