Does one need to install the outside key entry component, or can it be used as an inside only night latch?

Yes, instructions are provided for both configurations, inside security latch, or deadbolt style operation. I used both configurations. Deadbolt for front door, and security latch for inside door to garage. If using as high security use be sure to use long screws, ones included not long enough to reach internal wall studs for added strength. Door frame itself not strong enough for high security.

I never set mine up that way. I always put in in for a few hrs, then take it out. But I do not think my door would latch either because of how it is made.

You might be better considering a combination sliding bolt. Much cheaper and easier to install, but will only work if your door and it's frame are flush. ex. Combi-Bolt CB2000-CHR 4-Dial Combination Sliding Bolt Latch With Chrome Finish Also, if you place most of the numbers on the correct number and only leave one off by one, you can get out of the house more quickly in an emergency and also be able to tell if anyone's been fiddling with it.

You don't need (or get) a key with the privacy levers. There is a slot that is used with a flat-blade screwdriver or coin to unlock the door. I tried this on mine already -- it works fine.

Not readily, think about how it functions, and that it slides OVER and PAST the wall/door frame. One could be devised (have already thought about 3 different ways to do that) but it's not a part of the door slider design or function. You could readily design some sort of tongue and slot sort of latch, and attach a lock, or devise any number of latches that the door itself would connect to, but this door-slider system is only designed to manage the movement of the door, nothing else. We are using ours for light and privacy, but a latch is not part of our needs, courtesy takes care of that. If you decide to do something like a latch (again, would not be difficult, just have to look at your installation environment), don't forget to allow for emergency access to the room from the outside in case of some accident or sickness on the other side of the door.

Only needs combination from outside. Doors opens normally from inside and once door is shut it is automatically locked.

I would just order an aftermarket power door lock kit and install it. Your factory latch would have to be replaced also along with adding this actuator and running power to it. If you go aftermarket you'll have a remote on your keys to work with it. You also can get everything from a salvage yard from a factory pl vehicle but you will still have wiring to do no matter which you chose.

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.

I installed this lock on the entry door to my rental aprt. It came with two keys. I imgine you can take it to any locksmith or maybe Home Depot to make extras. But I did not give the key to my tenant. Instead, i set up one combination of their choosing. So there is no need to give them the key.

Yes it is possible, I've locked myself in my backyard on occasion. This particular product didn't come with the hardware to unlatch from the inside. It won't actually be locked, but the latch closes and it cannot be unlatched from the inside. Stanley makes a model that can be used from both sids but thia particular set can not. The person who said no emphatically is mistaken. Like I mentioned you won't be "locked in" but you will be latched in...

Schlage button can be used to light up entire keypad at night. It's also used when programming for this lock. (On a keyless deadbolt lock it's used as a quick way to lock door with using key)Yes, this can be used outside. I have one on front door (under covered porch) a one on the shed entrance (exposed to a lot more sun, freezing temps, wind, rain and snow)

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.

Not really, it would still be easy to disengage the latch even if you removed the inside latch knob. Besides, you don't really want to lock someone in, just keep people out!

If u have an alarm u will need to bypass that though for keyless entry system to work properly

Well, the 'pin side' has to be installed on the gate and the 'lock side' has to be on the fixed wall or post. Also worth mentioning - the key side probably can't be installed upside down. I cut a piece just a hair too short and so our latch relies on gravity to shut fully... and the lock won't catch if it's not shut fully.

No; The lock only keeps the center latch from being opened without the key. There is an aftermarket set of hood side latches that many say cures flutter.

With the addalock in place you cant open the door from outside when i put the addalock in place and locked in from the inside my brother used his key unlocked the door but he still couldnt get in. Hope it gives you some insight !
