If one turns the locking button with the door open and then closes the door, will the door be locked? i.e., can one lock the door with no one inside?

Yes, it will. How would the lock know if someone was inside or not? I think that's the case for any locking button, except for a deadbolt. That said, there is a slot on the outside, so you can unlock it with a coin or flat-blade screwdriver.

Yes, it stays locked until you turn the lock button back and yes you can lock it with nobody inside.

You must first turn the knob from inside to open the door. I believe this is to prevent someone from locking themselves out of the room after they have left.

You need to enter code again and push down on release button (as you did to open door) and close it let go and it will lock, it is a safety feature so you remember to lock it back up.

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

The inside door handle will always open the door. The lock/unlock buttons relate only to the outside door hamdle. In the lock mode it is always locked except then the entry code is activated, and it will then reset itself to lock. In the unloce mode the outside handle is always unlocked.

When you enter the house you scan your finger which unlocks the deadbolt, then once you're inside and close the door, there is a button on the inside you press to have it lock again. When you leave the house you press this same button to unlock the door. Then when outside of the house with the door closed, you raise and lower the cover to lock the door back.

Locks inside with a button. Does not unlock sutomatically; you have to turn the button.

We have one installed. It is wonderful not having to use a key when leaving - just push the "lock" button. On entry, no fumbling for keys - just the code. When we're home or in the yard during the day, we usually leave ours unlocked, and it does not lock automatically. So either older/different model, or there is a setting. There was a one-time set up using some switches as I recall. Does NOT need to be reset after changing the batteries.

Never had this happen. I suppose if thieves wanted to pry open the door it wouldn't be too hard. But that's true of many locked doors!

You have to push either the remote button or the button on the lock. It does not automatically lock when you shut the door.

You have to rotate the the nob counter clockwise to lock it. No code entry is required, So be careful when you close it. Also note the numbers on the buttons are hard to read so you may need a flashlight in low light situations. Good Unit though. Hope this helps.

No one from the outside can open it, it locks automatically on the outside but is unlocked on the inside so you are not locked in

You can program the lock to auto lock or to manual lock, whatever your preference is. You did need to know that you can open the door from the inside while it remains in the locked position. This could be an issue if you are used to a door that the knob will not turn from either side of the door while locked.

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

It locks with the turn of a knob. Yes, it can be opened with the code while someone is inside.

Yes. The only ways to lock this lock are by...... 1. using the key 2. turning the knob (inside) 3. "press the schlage key" then turn the key slot (from the outside) This lock does NOT automatically lock the door.
