![]() If you have a manual version, it only locks when you lock it. (the Touch is the motorized version).Īll the Schlage deadbolts I have (regardless of type) have a manualally operated lever to unlock from the inside. Easy to get confused between the two doors.Īll my experience is with the Schlage Keypad and touch pad locks. Normally I leave this door locked, but as soon as I turn the handle inside, it's unlocked. Reason being is that I have went into the house in the evening, and left the one door unlocked, thinking it was locked, because I forgot to lock it when I went out. I would either like a lockset like that, or have an electronic one that will lock itself once the door is shut. My first door, if it's locked, I can turn the knob inside, and it stays locked. The other door, if I turn the knob on the inside, it unlocks the door. One handle will stay locked unless I unlock it. The reason I ask the above is that I have 2 entrance doors to my garage. ![]() I don't know squat about keypad locks, so I have a few questions also.if you have a keypad lock, does it stay locked all the time, and do you just turn the doorknob on the inside to get out if it's a motorized lock? And if you have a motorized lock, once you enter the door from the outside, does it relock automatically? I am comfortable ignoring the 6% who either got unlucky, have no idea what they are talking about or just like complaining. Regarding the Amazon reviews, I tend to look at the percentage of "Complainers" with the keypad lock (2000+ reviews, over 4 stars), 94% are 4 star or better. On that note it did take me several months after installing my first one to trust it enough to not carry the backup key with me, but I have never had an issue with any of them over the last 7 years (my oldest one) or so. I will say that on one of the keypad versions I had to replace the original battery it came with after only 3 months, but once I put in a new one, I went 2 years before I decided to just start changing them all every 18 months regardless.įor me the convenience of not having to carry around house keys at all would be worth it even if I had to change the battery every year. From my perspective, unless you are operating it many, many times a day you won't have an issue. Well, I don't have 12 kids using it every day, but I think my wife and I use pretty frequently.
