Can you open the door from inside without unlocking? I am concerned about walking out without keys without realizing the door is still locked.

No you cant, you have to turn the little disk thing on the knob from inside.

the side you use the key for, offers no other way of opening or removing the doorknob. but it does come with two pairs of keys, and i keep the spare nearby just for that situation.

Yes, it opens in front without a key, but, mail can only go in, can't be retrieved from the front. I told my mailman that I simply close the side door, without locking it (but strangers cant tell it's not locked) if he needs the larger opening for packages. Nice box IMHO.

Yes, the key comes out either way. You can lock or unlock the cabinet and take the key out. Happy holidays!

You don't have to use the key. I just store the keys inside the cabinet and never use them. The door has a push spring mechanism, so you just push on it and it opens.

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

the root cause of the problem seems to be you putting your key inside the safe. ever. why would you do that? ever? i assume you have figured a way around getting the door open, but have you solved the "real" problem yet?

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

If you have lost the key to the door knob, I have used an ice pick or a very small phillips head screw driver to insert into the hole and push the button to unlock the lock. If you are asking how to remove the doorknob without the key? You don't really need a key to remove the doorknob. You start by unscrewing the two screws on the outside of the doorknob, with a phillips head screw driver. Then unscrewing two more screws on the plunger side of the doorknob, and that should do it. Once you push in the plunger, the door knob should just pull apart. I hope that this answers your question(s).

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!

That is correct. And you can always take it later to a dealer and get them to activate it, since you don't have a second key to do it yourself. But unactivated, it will still unlock your doors.

Hello Lisa. so you enter your code. Walk through the gate. Close the gate....and you now want to leave. So you press this button (resembles a door bell) and it activates the lock to the open position and you open the gate and exit. Simple as that! I truly enjoy this device!

Once you touch a key it all lights up. Also when leaving I always thought you had to put your code in to lock but you don't you close the door and press the one key on top and turn the lock then it will engage.makes for a quick depart.

Yes, you are doing it the right way. You don't need the key to lock it. Just click it twice to be safe.

If the door handle is in the locked position, as long as you have programmed it to accept a fingerprint, yes it will be accessible that way. However, the door handle has a swivel on the inside panel that makes unlocking it very easy. I do not know whether or not this can (or should) be disabled.

Yes, I am pretty sure you can, if your handle on the lock on the inside is what you are talking about , it can be used to open the door from the inside but it will lock - unlock it every time you open the door.

You have to use the key to lock or unlock it. No way to accidently close it or lock it without a key.

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.
