How do you hang it on a door knob? Does the hanging bar open up? Is the hanging bar locked with the door or can a burgler run away with your device?

When u open the door to store the key there is a lever inside u can press that opens the handle so that u can put it on a door knob or any other item so it can't be stole

yes the handle opens up.when you open the area where you put the key, there is an unlock handle button, just push and voile.. you can not attach to your door knob. i do wish it was a bit thinner.. it make it a tad cumbersom when you turn the door handle, but it is perfect for what i need it for. i am glad i purchased it. i was always worried that someone would not be able to get to her.. i am thinking about getting another one for my back door in case anyone ever gets locked out. that way i am not running around trying to find a hiding spot for my extra key.

Hi, yes, the hanging bar is locked with a 'release latch' on the inside, and does securely fit tightly around the door knob with no issues. Once the box is opened you'll see the 'release latch' in order to remove it from the door knob. Hope that helps!

the hanging bar opens. we have ours hanging on a wrought iron fence, so no problems. not sure about doorknobs.

Yes, the hanging bar opens. Once you unlock the device, you have access to the inside switch to open the U-bar like a padlock opens. Hang on a doorknob or other place as you prefer and you're done. I hang mine on a doorknob and it works quite well.

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.

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.

I guess it can hang from a wall. That is not the problem. The dial doesn't lite up. You put batteries in it but it doesn't lite up. I don't even use it now.

It depends on how tightly you have adjusted it to fit under the knob of your door. If it is not too tightly fitted, you can kick it away. There is a release lever, but this takes practice using as it is not intuitively placed. If you kick it away, be sure that you are holding it as well. Take it from me it is painful if it lands on your foot. I am not always able to kick it out because different members of our household put it on with different tightnesses.

There is a lock switch inside of the knob from the inside. By turning that switch you can lock/unlock the door.

It has been a while since I installed this, but as I recall, you have to remove the door knob (just two screws) and then you insert a plastic plate behind the metal knob. There are little plastic teeth that you punch out to match your particular door knob. Then, you screw the knob back on the door and that holds the lever lock on. It isn't hard once you get the hang of it. I found the first one slightly difficult, but it wasn't bad once I got the hang of it.

It seems to work really well attached to the door. Mine opens out as well. It give us notice that someone is coming. I guess you could mount it on the wall if there some movement to ring the bell. You could also put a string on it to pull to ring. It's a simple but useful little gadget. No wires. No electricity. Love it

That's a question for the Master lock, not the end user, however, no lock can keep any expert out. This device is meant as a deterrent, and that it does very well. The problem with the door, is that it takes a mere second to steal. Not the case if he has to find a key that fits the lock. The idea with thieves, is to get away fast without getting caught. The deterrent prevents a quick getaway.

The knobs are not lockable. They are durable on our closet doors which does not need to be locked. Perhaps you could have a lock and use these knobs as pulls. I hope that was helpful.

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.

Only 1 side of the door 's handle is disabled. So if you don't want someone leaving a room put the device on the handle inside the room. It is also able to be "unlocked" if you only want to disable the handle at certain times

It won't lock behind you - most don't want that to prevent lock-outs. All you do is turn the knob I believe to the left and it locks.

Dorothy, your question doesn't make sense. This unit IS a deadbolt. How could you "use" it without it still being a deadbolt? Would you set it to *unlocked mode* and just use it as a $110 doorknob? Why not just use the doorknob instead? Or are you debating on whether to have TWO deadbolts instead of one? Why?

Irrespective of any security measures a motivated thief will find a way. Anyone who wants to use a crow bar must be desperate as the reward is not worth the trouble. I did get a response from the manufacturer on the question of security and their lock sets. They did say the lock set is the same for all units of this type but the combinations are in the thousands ,however it appears there is a probability that several customers could have the same key and combination. So the keys are not universal but not totally secure.

A burglar with a pry bar could open it with a little work. I stuck on some "DANGER HI VOLTAGE" stickers and dressed it up to look like it might be a service panel. Most normal people would think twice about sticking a pry bar in to a service panel.

It hangs on the inside door of your safe. Which, better be locked unless you are using it.
