Does this handle relock every time the door shuts or do you manually have to lock it once in? And does the inside lever always allow free egress?

The handle relocks when it latches each time automatically. The inside lever always allows free egress.

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??

You can install it with a push button on the inside to open it. That's what I did. Yes it automatically locks when you close the gate.

No. It activates the exterior handle. By pressing the lock button, it tells the exterior handle to lock. By hitting the unlock button, it keeps the exterior handle active and always unlocked. When you press the lock button again,it locks the exterior handle.

Yes, it has a push button to lock from the interior of the door lever. Thanks and have a great day.

I agree with the other answer - it only locks when it's in the upright position.

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.

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.

There is a knob that protrudes from the top inside screw that holds the handle to the door. The knob works perfectly since I gently pull the door shut behind me and push it open when I'm done in the shower. No problem at all.

Hello, the primarily locking mechanism is the insertion of the two sliding pins from above and below. The small key like opening does not have to be engaged to open or lock the mechanism. Hope this helps. Purchased two of these to install and am very happy with the utility if the product.

The handle does not lock at all. I very much enjoy this door lock and would highly recommend it to others.

Mine automatically re-locks ... I do not move the inside lock ever because it is simpler to simply press in the code To unlock rather than forget to re-lock ... hope that helps

It auto-locks, so there is no need to lock from the inside. It has an always-open mode if you want it to stay unlocked.

yes the handle opens up.when you open the area where you put the key, there is an unlock handle button, just push and voile.. you can not attach to your door knob. i do wish it was a bit thinner.. it make it a tad cumbersom when you turn the door handle, but it is perfect for what i need it for. i am glad i purchased it. i was always worried that someone would not be able to get to her.. i am thinking about getting another one for my back door in case anyone ever gets locked out. that way i am not running around trying to find a hiding spot for my extra key.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

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.

The lock on the back switches the lock from always locked where you HAVE to enter a code to turn the handle OR open and you don't have to enter a code at all. (sorry for the run on sentence)
