You can leave it unlocked. I leave the key in the box so I wont lose the key incase I want to lock it.

I believe you can leave it unlocked. I got this for a gift so I'm not for sure.

You can leave it unlocked. You have to turn the key lock to actually lock it.

That is my dilemma too i am not going to uze the phone anymore because of the frustration of that specific lock hold feature. Fortunately i have another tracfone which i am transfering all mins and airtime to. All i can say is good luck

Yes it is locked and it is a horrible phone. Sent it back after many weeks of problems and they wouldn't even give me my money back. Don't buy it.

The lock is always on. No way to keep it unlocked when closed. You get used to it

Yes, it is and as mentioned, can be set to unlocked. PLEASE remember to do this before you open it and go out and close it. You WILL lock yourself out.

No, it does not lock at all. I don't think it's designed where you could add one, either.

It can be set to re-lock if you choose. That function can also be turned off.

We have one installed. It is wonderful not having to use a key when leaving - just push the "lock" button. On entry, no fumbling for keys - just the code. When we're home or in the yard during the day, we usually leave ours unlocked, and it does not lock automatically. So either older/different model, or there is a setting. There was a one-time set up using some switches as I recall. Does NOT need to be reset after changing the batteries.

No, it does not automatically lock. The two ways to engage the lock are manually turning knob from inside or from outside after you press schlage button and then manually turn knob. Simple, effective and fool proof.

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

No it doesn't lock automatically. Gotta have a key to lock and unlock. But it's the only lock that I know of that is lockable (& unlockable) from both sides...

Is locked. Meant to be unlocked but wasn't. Make sure it's unlocked before you buy. Worst mistake to make.

Are you locking the lock when not in use? I suggest if you are to leave it unlocked therefore it will be disarmed

In my experience the unit has never automatically locked, but then again I don't have or use any automated controlling apps on my phone or tablet either. So the only way to lock when outside is the key like all regular locks or faster is to just hit the Schale button which is right above the numbers and it electronically locks. Of course inside the you simply turn the knob.

Hit the dice looking button. Select "settings", go to "phone". Select "Auto-Lock" Choose "Never."

I haven't tried to lock it from the outside when it's in unlock mode, but it would make sense to me that you'd have to do this from the inside, since the knob that changes it to unlock mode is a mechanical knob.

you cannot set it to automatically lock when the door closes but instead it is locked using a key.
