Will pressing the lock button on the inside prevent the inner door handle from opening the door until unlock button is pushed?

No. It activates the exterior handle. By pressing the lock button, it tells the exterior handle to lock. By hitting the unlock button, it keeps the exterior handle active and always unlocked. When you press the lock button again,it locks the exterior handle.

The inside door handle will always open the door. The lock/unlock buttons relate only to the outside door hamdle. In the lock mode it is always locked except then the entry code is activated, and it will then reset itself to lock. In the unloce mode the outside handle is always unlocked.

If I understand you correctly, no, the door can be opened from the inside even with the lock locked. As in if the house was on fire you could just open the door and escape without monkeying with unlocking the door.

No, The do functions much like any other door. Think of the key pad as a key hole. You can only enter a locked door from outside if you have the "key" code. On the inside the door automatically locks behind you unless you press the unlock button or have a Mode on that keeps the door unlocked. From inside you can come and go no matter what mode the door is in locked or unlocked. (This means you could possibly lock yourself out if you don't know the status of the lock mode)

Well that pretty much makes this lock a security risk for anyone with dogs or cats that might jump up and move the handle. Is there no way to fix this "feature?"

no - when you lock from the inside, the door handle will still open, from the inside.

No. Shutting the door sets the mechanism to lock down. So anybody wanting to enter has to tap a code. But, I would strongly discourage you to buy this lock. Mine failed and broke a few months after I bought it, long past it's warranty. It's money thrown away. I bought the Schlage and has never given us any problems.

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.

No. You have to hit one button and then thumb turn the deadbolt to lock it.

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. to lock the door, you do NOT have to put in the code, press the schlage button (center top) and then turn the handle to engage the deadbolt

Yes... Unless you hold down the latch while retrieving the key/contents/etc., then close it before releasing latch. Once you release the latch, it locks.

On mine, if I releasse the button in the handle when it is part way up, it locks in a lower position.

When you say manually lock from inside, do you mean by pressing the lock button. If the lock button works then the actuator should be ok.

It does lock. There's a small button that slides over and back to lock and unlock the door handle.

No, it does not have a locking button you have a handle grip for a safety device for protection.If you let go of the grip it will stop automatically.

If you lock from inside you will unable the sistem to be opened from outside. From inside you don,t need to unlock the sistem to open the door, only move the handle down.

Hi, I live in a building and works great. The button on the inside part is to deactivate the lock, living the door unlocked.

You can install it with a push button on the inside to open it. That's what I did. Yes it automatically locks when you close the gate.
1274375

On the inside handle is a twist knob to lock the door...there is also the deadbolt with a twist knob. I installed these easily of enough. Just a word of advise.. if you have a blind that is enclosed in glass (the frame sticks out off the door). It makes the handle hard to grasp because there is no room. We didnt take that into consideration when we installed the knob and deadbolt.

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
