Bathroom installation: How does it lock from the inside? Can someone unlock it with the code when I'm still inside?

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.

It locks with the turn of a knob. Yes, it can be opened with the code while someone is inside.
1017041
Yes. If they have the code, they can open the door unless you have another lock on the inside.

The picture of the locks shows both sides of the door. One side has the keypad to open the door, while the other is like a normal door knob with a lock on the knob and a bolt above it. I am not sure how you are using for a bathroom, but if someone knows the code, yes they will be able to open this lock. On my outside doors, I have additional bolts above this door knob system. Since its separate, If I put that bolt on, you cannot get in without a key. I only use it at night. I hope that helps.

We setup codes per renter and let them know ahead of time. Then we program the lock to add their code at checkin time and remove it at checkout. We are then set their code to "alert" and get an email when they arrive. Our cleaning people have a different code as well. Since each renter has their own codes, no one can re-enter the house when they are not renting as well.In addition I have thermostats on the system and can turn the heat/ac on and off when the house is unoccupied and before renters arrive. I also have an outlet setup on my water heater and a few light switches for exterior lights and a few main lights. We setup codes per renter and let them know ahead of time.

It's like any other indoor lock system. You can have it locked or unlocked at all times.

thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam. (if you are old enough to remember those) it is in the shape of a capital T. So while it is not officially unlocked from the outside should our two year old accidentally lock himself in the bathroom I have placed the "T-Key" on the top of the door casing/framing so it is always there. hope this helps. They have performed outstanding for us. thanks for asking. ours have a turn lock on the inside (like found on a bedroom or bathroom knob) on the out side there is a small hold and they include a "key" like thing that looks like the "key" that use to be on top of a can of spam.

None. A code is a code. I may be wrong but I think it only accepts so many (10 maybe). There just an active code and a deleted (inactive code). I have this lock on my bedroom door as a way to keep out my roommate and only use two codes. one for myself and One for my parents/will. Hope this helps. You have to be on the inside with the door open and the back of the knob off to add or delete a code. Buy it, Try it and Send it back if you don't love it.

Haven't you all just verified for crooks how to reset the code and therefore have made any security the lock claims invalid? Am I missing something?

It is just like any other door lock from the inside and can be opened to exit. It is just permanently locked from the exterior.

You need to enter code again and push down on release button (as you did to open door) and close it let go and it will lock, it is a safety feature so you remember to lock it back up.

Hello, We had this same concern, but it does have a lock. It's a traditional bedroom/bathroom interior door handle. It's a very nice handle, but sometimes the "tongue" part does stick initially. But we have had these (5 total) for a few weeks now, and the two that stuck have stopped sticking.

I installed this lock on the entry door to my rental aprt. It came with two keys. I imgine you can take it to any locksmith or maybe Home Depot to make extras. But I did not give the key to my tenant. Instead, i set up one combination of their choosing. So there is no need to give them the key.

Turn bottom 'knob' to the right. This locks door from inside. When you are leaving home, turn it to the right when door is open; then close door and it is locked. The bottom knob is a little stiff at first, but after a few turns it is fine. Hope this helps. RS

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

No , it's a safety lock to keep people from going out or people coming in. Can only be accessed from the inside.

I use this in my home. my partner uses the top slot with his own code and I use the bottom with my separate code. be carefull when you set it up because the initial code will work on both locked doors. set the initial code then test them out. then rest the second code and the codes are separate. Make sure you hide your keys in a safe place. the safe is easly accessed with the two keys that come with it. regards jack.

No. It locks whenever engaged. You always have to input the code. I used it on an interior door but It stopped working for me after 2 weeks. I spent a total of $20 in postage to receive and return. It is very heavy. I was give credit but it was a net loss of $20 for postage. I now have an extra hole in my door. I haven't replaced it with anything yet.
