Can the door be opened from the inside when it is locked?

No. I just tried and before you can open it, you have to manually unlock it.

I don't think you can really lock from the inside: there is a button and a small lever that they can easily push/rotate to unlock and get out. Lever is mechanical and can not be locked or prevented from rotating. It is a fine lock, though, and fit and finish are superb

Ours could get the door open just also. We close the cage and use a suit case pad lock to keep it closed. These locks are small enough to fit in the hole on the latch.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.

Yes you can. But of course you will have to use a little more force to close the door, but it will stay closed.

No one from the outside can open it, it locks automatically on the outside but is unlocked on the inside so you are not locked in

Yes! And my daughter tested it with toothpick and she said if you push the right button inside the lock it will open too

Yes, the actuator is mounted inside the door at any angle. Then you pick the way the actuator is wired to open or close the lock.

No. There is a lock only on one side. The non-lock side has a small hole to insert a provided pin to unlock the door if necessary.

yes, there is a piece you can slide in and out to lock it. It's shown on the picture, and it is removable. This is a great door!

No. It locks whenever engaged. You always have to input the code. I used it on an interior door but It stopped working for me after 2 weeks. I spent a total of $20 in postage to receive and return. It is very heavy. I was give credit but it was a net loss of $20 for postage. I now have an extra hole in my door. I haven't replaced it with anything yet.

Yes, there is a knob on the inside face of the lock that you turn to have it remain unlocked.

There is no manual way to lock it from the inside, Yes there is a "Passage Mode" that can be used very easily, I live in northern VT where the elements do now alow my to use these locks on exterior doors. They work fantastic on interior doors and would highly recommend them.

No. Only the door opens. Maybe you'd be able to build an adapter or modify it?

Yes -- the lid is hinged to lift up and the doors swing open to either side. You do have to lift the plastic padlock hinge out of the way to open the front doors without lifting the lid, but you can do it.
