Does activating the lock prevent access by someone outside the room?

If your handles can move independently when opening the door, it can be opened with the lock attached.

Yes. I've had to put one on each side so a person can lock themselves on the other side if needed.

No--we have ours on the basement door --lock on upstairs does not prevent access from basement. We really like this safety lock

No, you cannot lock it from the inside but if no one else has the code they shouldn't be able to enter.

Yes. It locks like a regular deadbolt from the inside. It's quick and easy, but it can always be unlocked with the correct code from the outside.

you can attach a padlock, wont make any difference as if someone wants it they will just walk off with it and break in to it at their leisure

The lock is always on. No way to keep it unlocked when closed. You get used to it

It locks automatically every time you close the door. It never locks Someone inside the room...unless the handle is turned backwards, of course.

If the door is locked you will need a key whether indoors or outdoors, however, if it isn't locked then no you wouldn't need a key. You must have the key to lock it with though whether indoors or out.

Since I live in an area where nobody looks anything, I cannot answer your question. I have two of them for two years and love them and they are not locked.

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

Not really sure but I will try and answer. Locks so you can only go in, only go out, not at all and open I guess. I only use it to lock so they cant go out when I need them to stay in our laundry room.

If the door handle is in the locked position, as long as you have programmed it to accept a fingerprint, yes it will be accessible that way. However, the door handle has a swivel on the inside panel that makes unlocking it very easy. I do not know whether or not this can (or should) be disabled.

No, it turns on and off when someone enters and leaves the room. You can also control it from the switch.

Yes, on the small end piece there is a small piece of plastic that you push up or down to lock or unlock. It purposely is difficult to move so that you don't do it accidentally. Use your finger nail to switch it the opposite direction and it should be unlocked.

Ours isn't a key lock. It has a toggle. However, it is on the right side looking into the house

No! This lock has worked wonderfully at our house! We haven't had any break ins since we installed it, while prior to this lock we had 4. We actually did have an issue with our landlord (I live in a college town and leases are yearly) about changing the doorknob to a locked code. He was worried that in an emergency he would not have access to our house. (Trust me, I lol'd at what kind of emergency would require him to get into our home..) But to appease him we set a "User Code" for him and his maintenance crew to use. Installation was easy & this product works great. All of our neighbors have installed it as well.

Yes, it will. How would the lock know if someone was inside or not? I think that's the case for any locking button, except for a deadbolt. That said, there is a slot on the outside, so you can unlock it with a coin or flat-blade screwdriver.

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.
