Does this allow a manual door release? (i.e., power is out external key lock allow it to be unlocked and pushed open?)

Since I had'nt done it since the installation, I just verified before answering, and it is very easy since the gearing system is disangaged. It takes a 2 pound pull only, kids can disengage the system easilly. Frank

Yes, a manual unlock from the inside exists. You can pull down on the release cord and manually open the door. Once the cord is pulled down the opener will freely allow the door to open from inside or outside. There is no way that I am aware of to unlock the opener from the outside without pulling the cord first. There arother openers with a battery backup that work when the power is out but this one does not have a battery backup.

Yes... Unless you hold down the latch while retrieving the key/contents/etc., then close it before releasing latch. Once you release the latch, it locks.

If your power goes out, my guess would be that the door would have to be opened manually from the inside by pulling the emergency rope. I suggest you not use an electric opener if a power outage would keep you locked out.

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

Yes, just reverse the wiring. Use the N.O. (normally open) instead of the N.C. (normally closed) circuit. Though you may want to use a switch to turn the power off when you want it unlocked. Then turn the switch on to restore power and lock the door.

If you lock from inside you will unable the sistem to be opened from outside. From inside you don,t need to unlock the sistem to open the door, only move the handle down.

You cannot lock the door from the outside when the lock is in the unlock mode, not even with the key. To the best of my experimentation, it is only possible to lock the door when the lock lever, located above the knob, on the inside panel of the lock is in the lock position.

The Key is just in case you need to open the Lock Manually. If for some reason the gate opener fails, you can still unlock the lock.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

YES, comes with a large key type that turns and releases the gate to be able to move. This has happened to me when Electric had been shut off. Keep the key handy that's all. I have had mine installed at least 3 years and it still works every time I push my remote. The only thing remote takes those special batteries which I keep in Freezer...replace only two times...! I love this opener...

Yes, but you do have a manual release for the door so you can open and close it.

I called on this and they told me that if you use the code to unlock the door, it will auto lock itself. However, if you use the Unlock button on the inside, it will stay unlocked until you re-lock it. What I do not like, however, is that there is no indicator of whether it's locked or unlocked, so you have to push the button to know for sure.

NO.Requires electric power. Door can be operated manually during power outage.

You need power to engage the locking/unlocking deadbolt knob. Without the battery, you have to use the key.

Sure. It has the standard manual release and allowing you to raise the door by hand.
