If I have a dorm room door that does not lock... If I put it on the inside and turn it on... How do I turn it off when I return?

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off. It will go off when you open the door. It is very sensitive and even a heavy truck going by our house on the road will set it off. I have another alarm that might suit your purpose better that I use. It is a GE 45117 and it has a key pad on the unit. You set your own code. If the door is opened it will go off and it has an ear-splitting screech on that baby. You can put this on the outside of your door, it comes with removable adhesive. You could use the Techko on the inside while you are sleeping. This one just hangs on the door knob. Just a thought. There is a switch on the side of the alarm to turn it off.

It will start screeching as soon as you turn the door knob. You will just have to open the door and slide the switch up to the middle

Yes, just reverse the wiring. Use the N.O. (normally open) instead of the N.C. (normally closed) circuit. Though you may want to use a switch to turn the power off when you want it unlocked. Then turn the switch on to restore power and lock the door.

After you exit, you have to manually rotate the knob to move and lock the deadbolt. When you rotate the knob, the internal bolt slides into the locked position and after you let go, the knob will rotate back via spring(while deadbolt stays in extdnded position thus locking door). Mind you, this mechanism operates a bolt, it does not automatically lock or even keep the door shut after you close it, ie it does not have a protruding, beveled latch that hits a strike plate.

It only turn on after the door has been closed...there is a button in the crack of the door that is suppose to be triggered when the door closes.....if it doesn't reach the button, then sometimes it won't turn on.....

Not on THIS particular one. I have another at my other home which I have a review on. That one has no lock either. "I" think it is not a good idea for locks in case you have to get back up quickly.

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.

Try the battery door lock, just below the door, not part of the door. Less than 1/32" movement when locked.

I'm not sure what the problem is. The lock automatically resets itself after you open it using the code. If you have set the lock to 'unlocked' using the knob/lever on the inside of the door, just turning it to the 'lock' position sets it to 'locked'. You can hear the lock setting. There is no need to re-enter the code. Or have i entirely misunderstood the problem? I have two of these style locks and never have to re-enter the code.

if you turn the knob on the inside and leave it turned to the lock side it should ALWAYS remain locked after closing...if it is like mine. Even if the handle moves up and down, it doesn't engage the locking mechanism to allow for the door to be opened. If it does then turn the inside knob to the other direction and close the door and again test. My other schlage lock you can simply hit the SCHLAGE button and it locks.... There are different electriconic locks and i have 4 different kinds at 4 different properties so they operate a little different from one another.

You have installed it wrong. Mine did this and I went back and read the instructions and I had the mechanism inside installed 180 degrees off. Reinstalling it correctly solved the problem. This feature (pushing the logo button) allows you to lock the deadbolt without entering the combination and it should only work once for locking the door. If it works all the time anyone could walk up to the door - push the button and open the door. Please check your installation.

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

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.

You can program the lock to auto lock or to manual lock, whatever your preference is. You did need to know that you can open the door from the inside while it remains in the locked position. This could be an issue if you are used to a door that the knob will not turn from either side of the door while locked.

no- good question, if you are outside, and want to come in. the alarm will LOUDLY go off, and then once you walk IN the house you can reach to shut it off. IF you are INthe house and want to leave, you can press the bypass button, but you will need to close the door completely in a few seconds, or the alarm will go off. ( example--you can not go out and leave the door open b/c you're coming right back...you MUST close door as soon as you pass through it)

You must first turn the knob from inside to open the door. I believe this is to prevent someone from locking themselves out of the room after they have left.
