Can you remove the key when unlocked or not? Reviews and answers posted seem to conflict on this point.

This model allows key insertion and removal from both the locked and unlocked positions.

I called on this and they told me that if you use the code to unlock the door, it will auto lock itself. However, if you use the Unlock button on the inside, it will stay unlocked until you re-lock it. What I do not like, however, is that there is no indicator of whether it's locked or unlocked, so you have to push the button to know for sure.

The key does remove but I don't recommend it. It's literally a waste of money because it broke on me like a month after I bought it.

I believe the video's true which is why I will never buy a "smartkey" lock. I agree that nothing is unpickable/unbreakable but the lock should at least resist being force twisted open. Junk IMHO.

Once in, nobody can enter without reentering the code. But you can egress freely, unless you lock it with the key. Does this answer your question??

As far as I know battery power is needed to unlock. So may want to change he battery periodically, say once a year, not when it fails ( or you may still carry a real key). I haven't replaced the battery yet. We love this lock. Also, you should be ale to locate the manual online.

I've always found the locking part to be tricky...but have always managed to get it to work by doing something like this(best I can recall): place the key in the lock, turn the key to the unlock position, slide the lock onto the bolt (while still having the key in the UNlock position), then release the key from the unlock position and remove the key. Give it a shot and let me know.Barry

Thank you for your question. It depends on the seller, but I'll proceed unlocking and send it to you.

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

Yes, you can leave the lock unlocked and remove the key or leave it in unlocked. Of course unlocked a child would have to be tall to pull up on the knob. Keep in mind the code height is 54" or greater, that would be the knob height.

A question came to me regarding a request to key 4 locks all the same. I do not know if that is possible from the producer. I wanted to do the same and then decided for security reasons it was better to key each lock separately. I marked my keys and locks 1 through 4 and it is easy to keep them straight.

The only reason it would get "stuck" would be because you lost (can't find your key). They send two keys (by the way). That's the idea - it's "stuck" until you (the owner) unlocks it.

That seemed to be the case when I first received it...now that it has been in use for over a year, that has changed and I can now remove the key. Use has worn down whatever was restricting the key from being removed.

I was told AND read the answer is "YES" ... but with all things in life, I don't 100% believe it until I see it... they ship a special tool to put into the lockface with YOUR keys.. after a few seconds/beeps and it is rekeyed to YOUR keys... BUT, as I have not tried this myself yet, I caution you... make sure you don't need a certain type or special key .....

Do get any off market key from here, I bought one, they cannot sync the fob to my car, had to go to dealer, however, the material of the key is not decent, they cannot cut it to fit my car, and cannot sync the fob with my car either.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

Not sure I understand the question, but the lock opens with the key and can be removed.
