Lets say that the house party is in full swing. What about guests who don't know the code yet curiously, press the lock button and lock everyone out?

Well, the people that haven't yet been into the party should be coherant enough to know that they should just knock on the door and those that have been partying to hard and lock themselfs out, well, You should just leave them locked out! ...lol...

That's why you put one of the keys in a secure location outside of the house. In my case I put a key in a Supra lockbox in an out-of-the-way location that's not so obvious

No different from any other lock if the latch is flipped, you will need to unlock it. It is best if you can post a temporary code on the door or disable the lock by removing the batteries, to keep the curious from causing problems.

Then the owner unlocks the door & admonish his guests that the lock is not a toy :-)

If you push the lock button it resets the unit and it allows another set of numbers to be dialed in. You get 3 attempts I believe before the unit will sound an alarm for those in the house to know that there is a probable attempt of j authorized attempt. If it is a party one would think that there would be the owners and others inside so any 'smart' visitor would have to try the regular way when visiting someone which is to push the door bell button. For party cases the best approach would be to lift the cover and disable the 60 sec auto lock feature.

They cannot lock anyone out as long as owner or someone with keys is around they can open the door from the outside with thd key or by entering the correct unlock sequence. This lock prevents exactly what you are afraid of in regular mechanical only locks.Teach your visitors not to get creative into trying dummy lock patterns such as 123456, and hope that the owner was that lazy.

Hello Lisa. so you enter your code. Walk through the gate. Close the gate....and you now want to leave. So you press this button (resembles a door bell) and it activates the lock to the open position and you open the gate and exit. Simple as that! I truly enjoy this device!

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.

The current version of these locks come with pre-programmed codes. One for the owner and 2 different ones for 'users'. These are printed in the manual and on a easily removed sticker inside the lock.All codes can quickly be changed, over and over. Some of the home automation and security systems, Wink, Iris, etc, allow you to make those changes remotely.Seems that set up may be useful for landlords, cleaning crew, etc

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.

The lock alone will not do this but if you had another device such as a wink hub or similar device you can. The wink device is very basic and you can trigger an event and it will notify you when the door has been unlocked. You can also remotely unlock or lock the door. The only drawback to the wink for this is you cannot distinguish what code was entered. So if my son had a different code than my wife I could not tell who unlocked it, just that it was unlocked. There are other hubs that allow this, one from staples does and I am being toD wink will support this soon.

Yes. Locks when all the way extended and when all the way down. There is a button you push to unlock.

the lock will only lock or unlock when you put the code in. whether you are closing door or opening it.
1696032
Yes, it stays locked until you turn the lock button back and yes you can lock it with nobody inside.

if you think about it, if people were able to reset a code not knowing the existing code there would be really no reason to have a code because anyone could just come and reset, your code.

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

First, you would need the door open to program. If it is locked, they can't get in.

the master code is what is used to program the lock and i believe you can have multiple user codes set to give out.
1394165
yes, it tells you in the instructions. you can set it on vacation mode and user codes will not unlock the lock.
2241404
you have to push the lock button. it works great the range is not as much as i would like.
1789029
Yes. In fact if you need to close within a few seconds, all you do is punch the o instead of the entire 4 digit code! Also you can stop the door at any position by entering the 0 !!7
