If it's got a lever on one side, why is it called deadbolt? Isn't the purpose of deadbolt is to be open ONLY with a key?

Hey Nik, yes it's a deadbolt. The lock opens with a key from the outside and a lever from the inside.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

The handle does NOT have a lock function at all...only the deadbolt locks as is typical with most door locks of this type/style. The handle (thumb latch and/or lever) are essentially what is commonly referred to as a "Passage" set which means they are always open and do not have any locking capability. The deadbolt is the means by which you lock your door with this hardware. And if you are concerned that you only have one lock instead of two, don't be...the one deadbolt lock is enough and it is built like a tank! My wife and I absolutely love the one we have.

THis is a well made lock, however, it is designed to secure a door that "opens in"... For example if you are in a hotel room use this lock to secure the door before retiring for the evening. It is important to note be sure you have the key handy in the event you have to exit your room in an emergency.

It's been a long time since my review and we don't live in the same house where I installed it, but I mentioned two fobs in the review and I'm pretty sure that's correct. The part on the inside of the door is rectangular box-shaped considerably larger in length and width than the keyed deadbolt part in the picture, and it has the same kind of manual locking lever that you find on the inside part of an ordinary (single) deadbolt. As I recall, you can turn the lever manually to lock, and if you do it with the remote and you're inside, you'll see the lever turning by itself (driven by the internal electric motor that is contained in the large inside part). The size of the inside part is something you might not like--it reminded me of the big key-card mechanism you see on a hotel room door. It's brass-colored like the picture, but the hotel-room shape might not fit your decor.

Hello, the primarily locking mechanism is the insertion of the two sliding pins from above and below. The small key like opening does not have to be engaged to open or lock the mechanism. Hope this helps. Purchased two of these to install and am very happy with the utility if the product.

One key opens all locks. Locks are for luggage only. They are very small and inferior in quality.

I believe this person is refering to a bump key. In which a person makes a bump key which can open any deadbolt. I would think not because whoever makes a bump key needs to bump it with an hammer which will probably set off an alarm. Anyone else has an idea?

The top keyhole locks the handle. Keeps the handle from being used. The bottom keyhole locks the deadbolt. Which is way more secure. Hint..don't lock the top lock with someone inside. There is no way for them to unlock.

You can lock it from both sides, but only one side needs a key/finger. The other is a push button

The lever being straight up means unlocked and the lever being to the side means locked they should have marking but they don't :( something you get used to. I do love the lock best thing I eer bought my only down fall lately is the front hand knob hasn't been wanting to stay in place. I am sure an easy fix but i figure i should let you know. Again I do love this lock and definitely would buy another :))

This is a deadbolt and is meant for regular doors. It is not a garage door opener.

Yes, it is open on one end and you slip the key inside it. It is a tight fit, but it works great. I leave the tip of the key about an eighth of an inch out so if you had to, you can pull it out by using your fingernail without having to take the belt off.

The Key is just in case you need to open the Lock Manually. If for some reason the gate opener fails, you can still unlock the lock.

Not a dumb question at all, the description isn't that clear. One door, order 1 set. It shows a picture of only one but you actually get one lever for each side of the door. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do:)

No, the keypad on one side and just a lever handle on the other (inside of the door). I don't believe a double sided keyboard is typically available for these type locks as someone could be trapped inside and couldn't get out in an emergency if they couldn't see or didn't know the code. Probably a double one is made by someone for ultra secure facilities.

not sure I understand your question: as I recall this lock can be used on either side- it is reversible: the lock can be operated as shown or set up to engage in the other direction. The opposite side of the lock is a slotted disk to allow one to open the door with a straight-edged screw driver.
