How do you lock the bottom lock from the inside, since the inside bottom handle is just a smooth regular handle?

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly

Agreed with everyone, picture is wrong. It has your standard lock on the handle from the inside and the latch on top.

The picture is incorrect. It has a knob as you would expect with the ability lock on the inside. For a better picture go here: http://www.kwikset.com/Products/Details/Handlesets/553MNHXJ-15-SMT.aspx

Our inside bottom handle has a button turn lock. I usually just use the deadbolt when home alone, but lock both at night. Our set is as advertised and we like it very much. We've had many compliments on the appearance and we live in a condominium community. There are different options for the bottom handle and it sounds as though you received one without an inside lock, which is strange if it locks from the outside. Look up the options as you may just need a different inside handle.

I see the picture has it as a smooth handle but mine has the turn fob on it to lock it from the inside

My lock set has a twist lock on the bottom knob. it is not smooth like the picture is showing. The smartkey is great by the way, it makes rekeying simple.

There's a button you push in to lock. Just turn handle and the door unlocks and opens. I really love these latitude handles, and the price is great.

Remove Outdoor Handle, Punch Out Metal Hole Plug, Install Lock From the Inside of Handle Assm. You Will Need to Adjust the Rod ( By Breaking off At Scored Area ) so That it Will allow The Proper Length Between Outside Handle and Inside Lock Lever

The bottom of the handle locks it upright into the base vacuum. I usually sit in a corner.

They sent your question to me as I have ordered a new handle in the past. Mine is not keyed. It is intended to only lock from the inside. If you cand figure out the knock out and instructions try. But I would call a lock smith.

The lever on the bottom is two position. The lock is on or off....there is no center position.

There is no lock on the side the handle just snaps locked as you extend it and then you push down to lower the handle. It's good about staying in whichever position you choose.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

The lock is at the back, on the bottom. The bottom of the unit opens when unlocked. We use it free standing, sitting on a counter.

On mine I just have to press the lock release button then twist the handle until the handle locks automatically. You need to make sure your lock button is not stuck in the open position

There is a lock and this must be slid back. Then the "S" plastic across the top has to be turned fully. There are 3 spacers around the edges and you can see when they are lined up so that the top is unlocked. Sometimes this is difficult because of the debris that accumulates between the lid and the edge of the barrel. Once I needed my husband to turn the top to unlock it for me, but the rest of times I've been able to do it, but I have to put my body (weight) into the turn.

There is no lock for securing the wand to the handle. It's just a friction fit. I haven't had any trouble with it inadvertently coming apart.

You use an allen wrench to attach the nub. You could simply unscrew it and remove it if you aren't going to use the lock anymore.

Loosen that screw looking thing on the side that shows a lock and unlock then slide the cover open. I struggled with this also, but sliding the cover is the key.

I don't think you can really lock from the inside: there is a button and a small lever that they can easily push/rotate to unlock and get out. Lever is mechanical and can not be locked or prevented from rotating. It is a fine lock, though, and fit and finish are superb

Neither top or bottom use a key on the inside. I am not sure if the top lock can be converted to a keyed inside lock but seems plausible if you need that level of security.

Really easy. Just pull it up and press the bottom down. It locks in place. Pull up bottom to close.
