What happens if you press the LOCK button multiple times? Will it keep trying to extend the deadbolt/grinding gears (and wasting battery)?

If the battery were to go dead I would just use my key to enter the house. My deadbolt and doorknob are set for the same key and there's a hide a key outside in case the regular knob gets locked by mistake.

No,,,,the deadbolt will stay intact ,,only until valid code is entered,,,very little waste of energy,,,but worth the price,,,it extends far into door frame,,more so than any other residential deadbolt that I examined,,,and I backed it up with a METAL enclosed receiving hole enclosure,,,very handy combined with a matching LEVER instead of a round knob,,thank you

Don' know why you would need to know but yes it keeps activating the lock, I just tried to see what happens. My grandkids were messing with mine this weekend and set off a buzzer that lasted about 30 seconds guess it's some sort of alarm I didn't remember reading about. I'm still satisfied with mine after 5 months use.

If it is not locking all the way, you may have to adjust the latch plate and make sure your dead bolt hole is deep enough so it can extend fully. mine works great without any difficulty. you should only have to push the lock button once. If you hear any noise after the button has been pushed, it should stop, but better off to make sure it is adjusted correctly.

Yes, a remote can easily be paired to multiple locks. The nice part is when you press 1 button both locks will lock or unlock. Click here for more information &gt; http://www.assistivetechnologyservices.com/remotedoorlocksshowcase.html

I have had no problem with locking. But it sometimes show incorrect length in the display.

No i always lock mine. I think it tells you to do that in the instructions.

The first time the button is pressed it only unlocks the drivers door. Press the button twice & all four doors unlock.

I see yes and no answers on here, so I took out my manual and checked. Not only can you set it to automatically lock after 30 seconds, doing so was simple. Another feature to make me love this lock!

It does "lock," but not in the way I believe you are saying (there is no latch to unlock it if that's what you mean). If you extend it out fully, it will "lock" but a push will retract it back in. Just the same when it is fully retracted, it "locks" into place there as well, but again, with a slight pull, it comes unlocked. It is not a free flowing slide. Confusing I know, but I hope it makes some sense.

Hi - No, it shouldn't lock up you every time. I have had the same issue with the handle sticking on my end. Mine doesn't stick (or lock) all the time, just some of the time. I'm guessing there's an internal part that is not releasing properly after the handle is squeezed. I never returned mine because while it's very frustrating, it doesn't happen often enough. I'm sure if I was proactive and cleaned it to make sure the line wasn't clogged it might work better. Anyway, if the handle locks up all the time I would return it or contact the manufacturer. I hope this was helpful.

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

If you use the automatic locking feature to lock the door it may bind-up the deadbolt if it's too tight or not perfectly aligned. On mine, I have to jiggle the door a little for the deadbolt to engage fully. Otherwise, the automatic deadbolt will cycle for a few seconds then will stop trying to lock. You always need to make sure the lock has engaged.

I haven't tried to lock it from the outside when it's in unlock mode, but it would make sense to me that you'd have to do this from the inside, since the knob that changes it to unlock mode is a mechanical knob.

Yes, when u switch to the on position it should automatically lock, if it doesnt there may be something wrong with the switch. Just be sure u r locking it completely in the on position.

I just received this and as far as I can tell, when you enter the house it will automatically lock behind you. But when you leave the house, you have to manually unlock the door and it won't automatically lock. It just beeps over and over to remind you to lock the door. Either I'm doing something wrong or this is a HUGE flaw in the design.

I installed my lock only 4 months ago and still have 5/5 bars on the battery indicator in my automation system. (Usage - Deadbolt locks/unlocks approximately 4 times per day.)

I don't know what would cause that - I've never had a lock on mine, but I would suggest resetting to factory defaults. It's not that hard to set everything back up again, and it wipes out all of the other problems that may have developed as well. You can either do it through the setup menu (far left on home menu), or I believe there is a reset button on the back of the unit that you can press and hold until it resets. Hope that helps!

Yes, it should automatically lock when u put it in the on position-if it doesnt just be sure u have it completely switched in the on position or it may have a defective switch.

I never had this problem. I had a problem where it would not lock, but I called Amazon and they replaced it immediately.
