Is it possible to put the key pad on the inside? My wife has dementia and I want to keep her from going out at night or prior to me getting up in the

I do not see a problem with that. However, it can be unlocked from the outside at anytime. I would not use this for that reason.

Put a sign on the door that says "CLAP TO OPEN"... Every time you hear clapping you'll know she's trying to escape.

Well, it must be able to accomodate the deadbolt being on the left or right side of the door, so it should be able to be mounted backwards regardless of the side your deadbolt is on. However you could simply unlock your door from the outside, so not sure that would accomplish what you are looking for. Love the product!

I wouldn't think the keypad will accomplish what you are needing. The design of this system is for a single sided key access lock. The keypad is to compliment the keyed access from the outside of the house or room. I think what you are looking for is a double cylinder system, but I have not seen any which have the dual keypad function (but then again I have not searched for that either).

You might be better considering a combination sliding bolt. Much cheaper and easier to install, but will only work if your door and it's frame are flush. ex. Combi-Bolt CB2000-CHR 4-Dial Combination Sliding Bolt Latch With Chrome Finish Also, if you place most of the numbers on the correct number and only leave one off by one, you can get out of the house more quickly in an emergency and also be able to tell if anyone's been fiddling with it.

You could put one of these units with the key pad on the outside (normal installation) and one with the keypad on the inside (reverse installation). Then you would have two deadbolts on your door. But remember, any deadbolt that has to be unlocked (with a code or a key) will slow you down if you should need to get out of your house in a hurry, e.g. as in a house fire. A "double deadbolt" (with a key required to get in and out of your house) will also work.

Not really because then you wouldn't be able to keep anyone out of your house!

Yes & it comes with a key pad also so if you forget the combination you can override the combination with a regular key. I made 2 extra keys for myself to put in my safe. Love the concept.

you could use it just as well, the waterproof is only on the top side but so far I find it works well with a dementia spouse. It does not make a noise and seems comfortable enough.

well well well good question, of course not.. the keypad does not have lights to see in the darkness... only have little leds to announce the charge of battery and the scrool in the key to change uppercase to lowercase and vice versa... if you wanna light to see when you write with this dispositive do it like me (use the led light generate by the led tv) greetings...

Great point! I have a Logitech Ultrathin Illuminated Backlit Keyboard, which has rubber non-skid pads built in. This prevents sliding. If your keyboard has none, I am sure you can purchase stick-on pads for yours at a local hardware store. The benefits of a large mousepad are worth the "user modification" of your keyboard, in my humble opinion! I hope this helps.

I've never had that problem. I have a larger key ring attached, no keys on it. Maybe that helps.

Hello, There is a turn knob on the inside of the door knob to lock from the inside of the home. Thanks and have a great day.

No you can't. That is one of the many issues I have with it. I wouldn't recommend buying. The key pad is loud. The faceplate is made of cheap plastic. The battery compartment is also plastic and broke the first time I opened it to place the batteries in. The outside bottom portion has no cushion and it isn't smooth so it will scratch a desk, nightstand or whatever you place the safe on.

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

If the battery were to go dead I would just use my key to enter the house. My deadbolt and doorknob are set for the same key and there's a hide a key outside in case the regular knob gets locked by mistake.

Not really, it would still be easy to disengage the latch even if you removed the inside latch knob. Besides, you don't really want to lock someone in, just keep people out!

With the addalock in place you cant open the door from outside when i put the addalock in place and locked in from the inside my brother used his key unlocked the door but he still couldnt get in. Hope it gives you some insight !

You can open it with just the combination. Key is just added security, don't use it myself. what if you hide it and forget where it is?

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.

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.

No, this is not waterproof, especially on the back side that contains the batteries- though that would normally be on the interior. The front side with the keypad seems better sealed, but would only recommend it for a location that does not get direct downpour (e.g. overhang, damp location should be ok).

my wife has alzheimers and is in a memory care unit. the box spring is sitting by the window. she says she is afraid of falling off the bed. she is comfortable with just the mattress and I agree the board under the mattress is enough. I don!t no about using both but it is no problem she has been using it for seven months that way.
