The alarm system itself has a backup battery built in. All the remotes, and the external wireless keypad, all have their own batteries.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

The home in which I currently live unfortunately has power outages pretty regularly. I have never lost any information or connectivity after the power has been successfully restored.

Absolutely, in my opinion this is supposed to be used as access control and not as a security lock. If power goes out the door will be unlocked. There is a digital connection in the pad that would make it impossible for someone to unplug and unlock the door, but the circuitry is not included in this kit to do that.

Once you touch a key it all lights up. Also when leaving I always thought you had to put your code in to lock but you don't you close the door and press the one key on top and turn the lock then it will engage.makes for a quick depart.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

You can. But let me recommend getting the key fobs for everyone. Everyone always has their keys with them, so leaving it at home is less likely. Cards and wallets get stolen... but the key fobs seem to be the most convenient for everyone.

I can't imagine that happening unless you lose the key. At that point, I suppose you'd have to have someone cut if off. I've had one for over 20 year and never had a problem. However, I suppose the same thing that makes it so effective is what would make it so much a problem if you lose the key.

anytime you close the door it is locked this means no one from the outside can get in without the code now if your on the inside it will open with handle so if what your asking can you lock it from the inside the answer is no

Hi Carol: I would say that you would have to turn the heater back on but I'm not sure because I have not been in a power outage since I have owned it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It does not auto lock after opening it. For my experience, if you program it with Insteon it will do whatever you ask off of it. For example, lock the door if it has been unlocked for 5 minutes or so. The cool thing about this and insteon is you can operate it from your cell phone and lock and unlock your house from wherever you are.The only issue I see with this is that if you operate it manually (unlock manually and not with the remote or with insteon) the program does not detect it so it will not do what you programmed.

Hello, There is a turn knob on the inside of the door knob to lock from the inside of the home. Thanks and have a great day.

The answer is easy. Don't buy this safe. It is junk. If you decide to buy it anyway, the website says "An emergency override key enables you to open the safe without entering a code--ensuring that you have access to your valuables, even if the keypad has been locked or the batteries have run out." Compare the first two pictures to see the key slot with the key inserted and without the key. First Alert 2072F Anti-Theft Safe with Digital Lock, 1.00 Cubic Foot, Gray

No, The do functions much like any other door. Think of the key pad as a key hole. You can only enter a locked door from outside if you have the "key" code. On the inside the door automatically locks behind you unless you press the unlock button or have a Mode on that keeps the door unlocked. From inside you can come and go no matter what mode the door is in locked or unlocked. (This means you could possibly lock yourself out if you don't know the status of the lock mode)

If the light was on when the power went out it will come back on. It will not turn on if the light was off when the power went out.

Please make sure you have the Key less entry system in your vehicle. The whole process was done by my two sons and they are now out of state. I do not have any idea what they did.
