To lock the door, is the lock just a round button you push in? Or do you have to push and turn a button (or the entire lever) to lock it?

To lock - just push the round button. To unlock - turn the lever either up or down.

There's a button you push in to lock. Just turn handle and the door unlocks and opens. I really love these latitude handles, and the price is great.

You have to use the key to lock or unlock it. No way to accidently close it or lock it without a key.

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.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

No. The inside knob has a latch to lock and unlock. A 1/4 turn of the latch will lock and unlock this door lock.

The lock does not physically lock or unlock itself at all. It provides the ability for the *person* to provide the turning of the knob to lock or unlock from the outside. Without punching in the correct code, the outside knob just spins freely - it won't unlock. That said, if the lock is locked, and you punch in the correct code from the outside but don't turn the knob, it will automatically revert back to a free spinning knob in a few seconds - essentially keeping the door locked. If you are looking for it to automatically lock behind you after you close the door, this lock will not do that - it's designed to have the person do the turning of the lock knob to lock or unlock it.

There's no lock but there is a removable solid plastic panel for the inside of the door. With the panel in place nothing can go through. It is not removable from the outside as far as I can tell.

It does lock down and you are correct-it is the little plastic part with the lever that is the locking mechanism. The lock is a bit stiff, however, I did find by accident when assembling that there is an "up" and a "down" - you might try inverting the black plastic parts and see if that doesn't make a difference in your ability to engage the lock. Hope this helps.

Yes on the back of the lock there is a small lever like piece that will unlock the door if turned. You will have to turn it back to engage the lock again.

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.

None. As I remember, you take it out of the box, line it up with your doorknob, unlock the handle on the BB, slide it up to the knob and then lock the handle. (Please read the instructions for full information!) There is one caution I heard from a Locksmith, and that is you have to be careful not to put too much pressure on the doorknob or over time you could bend it and possibly break it. Works great for me, just what I needed!

When you close door just turn the knob and it will lock until you set your combination and turn knob to unlock.

The lever you are asking about does not have a locking mechanism. It is used where privacy is not an issue, like a laundry room or basement door. The lever with a push button lock is Schlage F40VLAT619 Latitude Style Privacy Lever, Satin Nickel. Hope this helps:)

Hi Ken, On the back it is a turn lever. But don't use it as a front door lock. It is very easy to "bumping key" and the inside isn't that strong either.

There should be a ring round intention in the sliding glass door handle. Use a small socket and knock it out of the handle. That's where the lock goes.

You have to grab the door squarely and pull straight up. It fits snug, but a firm grip and some force will get it out. There is no lock to deal with.

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
