How to re-lock after open? I currently re-press my code to have the lock re-lock itself when i leave. Do Im need to, or is thefre a simpler way?

if you turn the knob on the inside and leave it turned to the lock side it should ALWAYS remain locked after closing...if it is like mine. Even if the handle moves up and down, it doesn't engage the locking mechanism to allow for the door to be opened. If it does then turn the inside knob to the other direction and close the door and again test. My other schlage lock you can simply hit the SCHLAGE button and it locks.... There are different electriconic locks and i have 4 different kinds at 4 different properties so they operate a little different from one another.

I'm not sure what the problem is. The lock automatically resets itself after you open it using the code. If you have set the lock to 'unlocked' using the knob/lever on the inside of the door, just turning it to the 'lock' position sets it to 'locked'. You can hear the lock setting. There is no need to re-enter the code. Or have i entirely misunderstood the problem? I have two of these style locks and never have to re-enter the code.

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

Mine automatically re-locks ... I do not move the inside lock ever because it is simpler to simply press in the code To unlock rather than forget to re-lock ... hope that helps

I never opened the lock from the inside of thats what you mean. Asthetics are ok. Nothing to write home about. No, it cannot be set up to be open sometimes. Its is locked all the time. I dont know if it can be used outside. Both mine are inside.

You place a 4 digit code in everytime you close the safe. Then re-enter that same code to re-open. The code can be changed everytime you close the safe - just make sure you remember what code you entered.

No. You place the key back, close the lid and twist the knob to relock. This will reset the code for the next access.

I think it comes set to "000," to open. So put on 000 or whatever the initial open number is, then use tip of ball point pen to press on little dimple button on edge of the lock. While that dimple is pressed in, put in the numbers you want. The lock will be reset to the numbers you put in.

Yes, indeed! 1) You pull the reset lever, 2) Enter your code, 3) Pull the latch, 4) Open the door, 5) Retrieve or store your keys or whatnot, and then 6) Re-enter your code. An interesting factoid is that you can avoid re-entering your code by taking care NOT to release the latch. But it's just simpler to let the door hang from its rubber hinge, and re-enter the code when you're done.

It takes a while to get used too.Did you assign a number to your code? Your code will start with that number 1xxx or 2xxx or 3xxx.Next once you enter your code, you have to press the # key and then you get a buzzing noise. You now have about 10 seconds to open the door.If all else fails there is a reset code. I cant help you here, your individual reset code will be in the instructions

You create your own code. You put code you want in whole holding the lock to the right one you out choose in let go. Now it took your code.

The lock on the back switches the lock from always locked where you HAVE to enter a code to turn the handle OR open and you don't have to enter a code at all. (sorry for the run on sentence)

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

Yes, you can repeat the digits. I also want to say that I have never changed a lock in my life, and my 8 year old daughter and I were able to replace our lock and create a new code in about 45 minutes without any additional help. It helps if you read through the instruction manual couple of times.

You the user provide a new key if you use the kit a second time. So you would have to get 2 or 3 Kwikset keys, cut the same to rekey the lock the 2nd time. I hope you can understand what I am saying. If I have not made my self clear and I'll try again: )

1.It is possible if you have special key that cant reset and then enter new key.2.Don't buy Schlage lock set - it has big problem - Please research on this3.I returned my lock - the key doesn't work after few months - hard to imagine, right? but true.

I second the 5 seconds. I have mine on a heavy wooden door and sometimes the latch moves back into the locked position and I have to move the bar to open so it closes properly, otherwise the door bar hits the latch and just bounces back. I also second that before I push the open button or the code I have to pull/push the door so it opens. It's a bit annoying, but less annoying than fumbling with keys.

The code needs to be entered every time you want to release the cover, whether opening or closing it. So you have to put the code in again to close the box. Not sure if you tried that.

I see yes and no answers on here, so I took out my manual and checked. Not only can you set it to automatically lock after 30 seconds, doing so was simple. Another feature to make me love this lock!

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!
