Can one lock and unlock this knob from the inside, without the key? if so, how? One answer said there is no thumb-turn on the inside knob.

YES , on this model there IS a thumb-turn on the inside ! Sometimes Amazon has OTHER models that kwikset use's a key on both sides. But this model HAS a Thumb-turn on it for the inside !!!

This can only be locked / unlocked with a key. There is no thumb-turn on the inside knob. That is correct.

There is a lock on the inside just like any other keyed lock. We love these. We are redoing every door in our home and they look great.....very solid feeling!

This lock does not have a key. It only locks or unlocks from the interior lever.

To clarify, since you mentioned outside, this is an indoor doorknob. There is a slot kind of like a flathead screw driver slot that you can turn to either lock or unlock it. I've used a dime for this.

The handle does NOT have a lock function at all...only the deadbolt locks as is typical with most door locks of this type/style. The handle (thumb latch and/or lever) are essentially what is commonly referred to as a "Passage" set which means they are always open and do not have any locking capability. The deadbolt is the means by which you lock your door with this hardware. And if you are concerned that you only have one lock instead of two, don't be...the one deadbolt lock is enough and it is built like a tank! My wife and I absolutely love the one we have.

Yes, you can leave the lock unlocked and remove the key or leave it in unlocked. Of course unlocked a child would have to be tall to pull up on the knob. Keep in mind the code height is 54" or greater, that would be the knob height.

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.

unlocking mine i only press the four key numbers and works well. I only use that button for locking and turning. I guess you touched the button by mistake and it open - that i have not seen. I will try. If it's a new lock it could be a defect. I would try clsoing and opening and repeating what you did to see if you duplicate the failure and if happens again ...return it.

If you lock from inside you will unable the sistem to be opened from outside. From inside you don,t need to unlock the sistem to open the door, only move the handle down.

Hopefully you had not locked the master key in the safe. Because the master key opens it without code. (The knob keys opens it with code.)

There is no key lock. The drawers push closed and have a slight pressure added too keep them in. That is all.

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 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).

Yes, There is an access key pin that comes with the knob. You put it in the hole that you see in the picture and it unlocks the door.

I did at Home Depot but the "head" at the top of the key they provide is narrow on one side so it allows for the key to be turned to lock and unlock. The one made at Home Depot did not have the narrow "head" so I have to find a way to grind it down. I wonder if I can order more from the manufacturer or just have to make do.

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

I never opened the lock from the inside of thats what you mean. Asthetics are ok. Nothing to write home about. No, it cannot be set up to be open sometimes. Its is locked all the time. I dont know if it can be used outside. Both mine are inside.

anytime you close the door it is locked this means no one from the outside can get in without the code now if your on the inside it will open with handle so if what your asking can you lock it from the inside the answer is no
