Can I lock and unlock this from either side? I put a bifold door to my basement and want to be able to lock it while I am upstairs but also downstairs

Yes you can, at least I am told that you can by others...Thank you for your inquiry....Craig

No. Its not necessarily a lock. Its a piece of plastic that slides to the middle to stop the door from opening. There is a (maybe) 6 inches piece of plastic that hangs down on one side to make it easier to slide it. Depending on how tall you are if you could reach close to the top to slide it then you will be fine.

No. But! If the door is large enough you can put one facing out and one facing in and whether you are out or in; you could slide that particular lock over. I found that this lock did not work well for us. I kept forgetting it was there and eventually broke it. But found nothing wrong with the lock itself.

Just turn the deafbolt in locking position. You can always turn it to lock, but only can unlock it with the selected code you chose.

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;

Yes there is a lock on the right side. You do have to lock both sides but you only have to unlock one side to open the box.

Yes, the key comes out either way. You can lock or unlock the cabinet and take the key out. Happy holidays!

Hello Will,No, the keypad is only on one side. Its against fire regulation to have a door locked from inside in case of fire, you should be able to get out of structure without having any key. Hope this helps you!

Each button operates independent. Both have locks. If you lock one you can still walk to the other side and open the toolbox. Both locks have to be locked separate. Ps- I am very happy with my box and would highly recommend it

Both sides do indeed have a lock but you only need to unlock one side to open it. Works great.

It can be unlocked from the other side. I purchased about 12 of these for my house a few months back.

You do need to lock this particular one from the inside, but you in locked mode you can still egress without doing anything, in other words the door locks on its own. I can't think of a situation where I would need to lock it from the outside. The dead bolt style you can lock from the outside. Hope that helps!

There is no locking ability to the one we purchased. You would have to do some sort of fabrication to the door with a hasp and padlock. The box material is fiberglass.

Yes you can lock it from both sides, with a key or finger print from the out side and with the lever from inside, meaning you can also unlock it without a key or fingerprint from the inside.

Yes, you can make the door open either way. Directions are extremely confusing however it can be done

Yes it can. In fact I recommend it that way because if it slips down while in the vertical position while you are out you will not be able to get back into your house (at least not through that door). I intentionally purchased and installed a deadbolt that is in the horizontal position when locked just for that reason.

Yes it can open from both sides and locks from both sides. The cool thing is it can accommodate a 6x6 or a 4x4 post.

1. You can't lock it from the inside. It opens as a normal door. You would need to add a deadbolt. I don't use anything else.2. No. It's always locked to someone in the outside, and always open to someone in the inside.3. Yes.

Both sides have to be locked for the box to be secure, but you only have to unlock one side to open it from that side. I haven't found it to be any trouble at all. Mines about 18 months old now, locks are just as smooth as the day I bought it.
