How to re-lock after open? I currently re-press my code to have the lock re-lock itself when i leave. Do Im need to, or is thefre a simpler way?

if you turn the knob on the inside and leave it turned to the lock side it should ALWAYS remain locked after closing...if it is like mine. Even if the handle moves up and down, it doesn't engage the locking mechanism to allow for the door to be opened. If it does then turn the inside knob to the other direction and close the door and again test. My other schlage lock you can simply hit the SCHLAGE button and it locks.... There are different electriconic locks and i have 4 different kinds at 4 different properties so they operate a little different from one another.

I'm not sure what the problem is. The lock automatically resets itself after you open it using the code. If you have set the lock to 'unlocked' using the knob/lever on the inside of the door, just turning it to the 'lock' position sets it to 'locked'. You can hear the lock setting. There is no need to re-enter the code. Or have i entirely misunderstood the problem? I have two of these style locks and never have to re-enter the code.

Mine re-locks after a time out. When I leave, I just close the door and it's locked.

Mine automatically re-locks ... I do not move the inside lock ever because it is simpler to simply press in the code To unlock rather than forget to re-lock ... hope that helps

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.

If you enter the wrong code or the keypad fails simply twist the knob towards the lock position to reset. Then enter code and twist open. This is a full proof lock that I've used on my home and my cabin for over ten years

Not sure I understand what you mean by "if I open using the knob it autocloses." Do you mean if you turn the dial to unlock the lock manually, it will then relock automatically? That's weird. If I manually unlock mine, it doesn't auto relock unless I open the door and then shut it again so the magnet triggers the relock. And if the open/close button does nothing, it sounds like maybe you got a defective unit.

No. You place the key back, close the lid and twist the knob to relock. This will reset the code for the next access.

Hi there Kalra my name is Glenn and I am a maintenance Tech, I have had the same entry lock on my apartment door, I am slightly confused, if we are talking about The sclage FE575 plymouth keypad lock,the only thing that is done from outside is pressing the keypad, or using your key,and yes when entering your code is does Click open, other than that maybe the lock is faulty, my advise if it still under warranty and not to old is to send it back to schlage,I hope this shed some light on Your problem, Glenn.

I read somewhere here that often when you put the new code in you haven't 'cleared' or erased the default code; you've just added to it. So you can try the default code plus the new code you entered and that may open it again. Then follow the directions very carefully for your own combination.

I don't know what would cause that - I've never had a lock on mine, but I would suggest resetting to factory defaults. It's not that hard to set everything back up again, and it wipes out all of the other problems that may have developed as well. You can either do it through the setup menu (far left on home menu), or I believe there is a reset button on the back of the unit that you can press and hold until it resets. Hope that helps!

You the user provide a new key if you use the kit a second time. So you would have to get 2 or 3 Kwikset keys, cut the same to rekey the lock the 2nd time. I hope you can understand what I am saying. If I have not made my self clear and I'll try again: )

If someone removes the battery, it will not open until the battery is replaced, however, once the battery is replaced it does remember the old code so there is no problem getting back in it : )

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

Yea--it locks five seconds after it's opened. You can set it to stay open if you want too. So both options are available.

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

I have not researched that feature. I only use the program built into the unit that automatically locks the deadbolt after thirty seconds. Sorry! Please post what you find out...

It seems that I do have to push the open button after entering my code a second time quite a bit now that you mention it. It usually doesn't require re-entering the code. Overall I have been very satisfied with my purchase though. I hope this helps.

The key is required to open the lock (obviously). Once the lock is open, the key can not be removed until it is closed again.

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.
