Does the window kit come with locking mechanism? so that nobody from the outside can just pull up the window and enter your house ?

no it does not but it is easy to set it up that the window won't open. If the window doesn't have lock one can be installed

It's very simple and cheap. Use a 2x4 or a big wooden dowel cut to size. I used to live in some apartments and I had just bought a new window unit. I cut a 2x4 to size and put it in the upper portion of the window which prevented the window from being opened. I left for awhile and when I came back home I found that someone had tried stealing my A/C unit but failed because of the 2x4. It works!

No, it is a very flimsy plastic piece that is easily pulled out . I have it on the 2nd story so I didn't worry about it.

No it does not. We take it out of the window at night. I have nailed a window it prevent anyone from raising the window further.

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

It comes with a hard plastic cover that slides into place on either side of the door. It does not literally 'lock' with a key type lock. Hope this helps.

If you lock from inside you will unable the sistem to be opened from outside. From inside you don,t need to unlock the sistem to open the door, only move the handle down.

No, it does not come with a lock key - its just the mechanism for opening the door.

You do need to lock this particular one from the inside, but you in locked mode you can still egress without doing anything, in other words the door locks on its own. I can't think of a situation where I would need to lock it from the outside. The dead bolt style you can lock from the outside. Hope that helps!

No , it's a safety lock to keep people from going out or people coming in. Can only be accessed from the inside.

I never opened the lock from the inside of thats what you mean. Asthetics are ok. Nothing to write home about. No, it cannot be set up to be open sometimes. Its is locked all the time. I dont know if it can be used outside. Both mine are inside.

What exactly do you mean by lock? When we bought this item everything came in a kit.

No. I can't think why that would be necessary. It is either locked or unlocked set on the door itself.

Yes, you can. We don't typically do this because our windows are older and we don't want people to break into the house, but if you have windows that you can lock when they are open then this isn't an issue.

No you do not need a key to lock the door from the outside. As far as how it's done, it has some sort of mechanism that auto- locks quickly after you unlock the door. You can however use the key to lock and unlock this doorknob also. This door knob will always use the auto-lock feature and cannot be bypassed. Schlage however makes the same type of doorknob without the auto lock feature where you can use the keypad to unlock the door, but need to use the key to lock from the outside.

It has a very simple lock mechanism that works. But, be advised that it is easy to unlock the handle from the outside by merely "turning" the fake key slot. In other words, it locks but not in a way that could keep someone out if they wanted to turn the mechanism.

Yes, it is like a pull down window shade, you pull it down where you want it and it locks. To retract , you tug on it and it closes.

1. You can't lock it from the inside. It opens as a normal door. You would need to add a deadbolt. I don't use anything else.2. No. It's always locked to someone in the outside, and always open to someone in the inside.3. Yes.

Mine did not come with a lock, and I did not use one. The mount works just fine, I had no idea you could use a lock!
