When these knobs are locked, can you still turn the inside knob &amp; open the door, or do you have to turn the button to unlock first?

You have to turn the button. I like this feature since it's easy to tell if the door is locked with out opening the door.

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly

The inside does not require a key. It has a small metal turning piece. Call it a "dial" maybe which allows you to open or close the lock from the inside of the door.

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 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.

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.

No, You have to manually turn the knob to lock & use code or key to re-enter house.

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.

It happens to us sometimes mostly when the door is opened quickly. What I mean is that, the knob is turned and the door is yanked open. I think the device does not process the action quickly enough. Try it yourself turn the knob, wait one second and open the door. Or try using the button to unlock the device.

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

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.

No, unless you turn the lock on the inside, the door knob remains locked. As for having them keyed alike, I cannot answer that one. We purchased two knobs and have not re-keyed them. We have been very pleased with these knobs.

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

Hmmm...not totally sure about your question...but let me say this....the knob doesn't function quite like a door knob...its basically a dead bolt that is actuated by a knob....on mine the knob is used to actuate the dead bolt back or forth(also note that the bolt is flat on the end and you can't swing close the door with bolt exposed out. U walk up to locked door, key in code, this allows you to rotate knob and it slides the bolt, you let go of knob and the knob itself springs back, the bolt stays in and door can be opened now(I have a separate standard knob installed below). To lock, u shut door and rotate the knob the other way which internally slides the bolt, let go of knob and it springs/rotates back and the bolt stays extended thus locking the door....ie the mechanism is a dead bolt and not a door knob per se. Whenever u do the "lock" action to extend the bolt thru the door, it stays locked and requires the code to be pushed again to do anything. I hope some of this makes some sense and helps.

I went out to see exactly what I do and here it is: I put the key in the top lock but it doesn't go all the way in, so I leave it there and put the bottom one in and turn it from 6 to ~4, then the top one will push all the way in and turn to the right, and I pull the door open with the keys. The top key won't go all the way in and turn until the bottom one does. I hope this helps more.
