What is the Schlage button purpose? Also can this be used outside? Thanks!

Hi, I live in a building and works great. The button on the inside part is to deactivate the lock, living the door unlocked.

The keys light up when you push the top "Schlage" button, no matter day or night. Our front porch is pitch black at night, so this feature is essential when we come home to open the front door after dark.

The doorbell button is designed for exterior use. The doorbell chimes are for interior use.

Yes, I believe you press the Schlage button and it lights up. It's not lit all the time as it would drain the batteries.

I don't think it can--how else are you going to lock yourself out? (kidding!) That's how these locking entry knobs are designed to work, it's a safety feature allowing emergency exit. Schlage does make other styles that do what you want. See http://answers.schlage.com/entries/20379577-When-the-door-is-locked-I-can-still-open-the-door-Emergency-Exit-

You could use it to keep the two parts of fabric closed for a temporary solution. But you probably couldn't fit the stitches through the button's holes for a lasting solution. The stitches are very short.

I'm not sure about your question since we decided not to use the Schlage lock. We found out that to use the user app you have to pay a monthly fee. So we used a Kwick lock instead. We really love the lock and has worked out very well for us.

This can be rekeyed like any other Schlage lock. But note that the key's rarely necessary unless you just wanted to use it. We know of people who've had these locks for five years and absolutely never used a physical key. Since the lock visually warns of low batt long before it's out, even a dead battery lockout is unlikely.

if the button is exposed, its literally just a cut out. You can achieve the same result by drilling one of the holes on either side big enough to stick your finger through.

As long as there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)

No, I wouldn't use this outdoors. I would buy a grounded timer specifically rated for outdoor use.

It can be used outside. But it's not as visible than when you use it indoors

The button on the front can be used as an SOS button, which will alert via text and/or email when pushed. It can also be used as an instant GeoFence creation button, so if the device goes out of the 100' area when enabled the device will alert via text or email. It is small enough to be worn or placed in a commonly used bag to track where the person is located, etc.

A person standing outside the house is for the "away" mode and the person standing in the house for the at home mode. This is for systems which have motion sensors installed inside the home (away). If your home does not have motion sensors inside the house, the left button will be lock and the right button will be unlock.I don't know what the other two buttons are for.

if you turn the knob on the inside and leave it turned to the lock side it should ALWAYS remain locked after closing...if it is like mine. Even if the handle moves up and down, it doesn't engage the locking mechanism to allow for the door to be opened. If it does then turn the inside knob to the other direction and close the door and again test. My other schlage lock you can simply hit the SCHLAGE button and it locks.... There are different electriconic locks and i have 4 different kinds at 4 different properties so they operate a little different from one another.

It's the tab that controls the spring-loaded "door" that prevents people from pulling the lock cylinder with a slide hammer. It doesn't stick that fara out when it's installed because the door is held open by the outside cylinder whose actuator bar runs through the "door" and pulls the solver tab into the housing 80%. On my house, I use these as night locks with no key on the outside of the door (just didn't install the outside cylinder) so the tab sticks out as shown. You could bend it or cut it off and it would make no difference.

I think the key fobs take those Coin style batteries. They are available at any store. However I did not like the lock. It went through batteries very fast. And the key fobs were very unstable, they did that stay connected to the lock. I don't think it's ready for prime time. Otherwise it's a nice lock. I have the schlage lock with touchpad it works much better.
