Does the door knob on the inside of the door indicate if the door is locked beyond whether the button is turned, ie can you easily lock yourself ?

There is no indication whether the door is locked or not. So, it would be easy to lock yourself out. Most door hardware (the more expensive ones) when you have it in the lock position the post will stick out keeping the door from shutting all the way.

Yes it does, and it's a simple push of a button and to unlock you just simply turn the knob. There is also a push pin to unlock it from the outside for safety.

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;

No, it just latches. You can "set" it to remain unlatched with a hex key from the inside, but there is no typical key to lock the door.

It locks automatically every time you close the door. It never locks Someone inside the room...unless the handle is turned backwards, of course.

Yes, there is a latch on the inside, just above the handle, that unlocks the door.

Yes, there is a knob on the inside face of the lock that you turn to have it remain unlocked.

yes. and what I like about it is auto-lock when shutting the door and working the handle. actually installed it myself.

This one has just a knob to turn to unlock on the inside unfortunately...it would be easy to get to if there's a window nearby.

Yes. It locks like a regular deadbolt from the inside. It's quick and easy, but it can always be unlocked with the correct code from the outside.

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.

I never noticed but I just tested it. The door will always swing back into a closed position but does not always "click" in a locked mode. If you are looking to keep it wide open from time to time this might be a nuisance. We always need it shut so it's fine for that purpose. Hope that helps :)

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.

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.

Mine did but if you tighten it up more it will lock in. You may have to lift it up slightly after pushing the button.

No it just has it on one knob. The other side has a dial you turn to lock or unlock it.
