Can the door be locked from the inside to prevent any unwanted entry while the room is occupied?

No, you cannot lock it from the inside but if no one else has the code they shouldn't be able to enter.

anytime you close the door it is locked this means no one from the outside can get in without the code now if your on the inside it will open with handle so if what your asking can you lock it from the inside the answer is no

yes, the door can still be opened and or locked. These are very well made and you will like the quality.

There is no keyed locking feature, but there is a spring & ball detent that holds the door securely closed.

Yes. It locks like a regular deadbolt from the inside. It's quick and easy, but it can always be unlocked with the correct code from the outside.

You must first turn the knob from inside to open the door. I believe this is to prevent someone from locking themselves out of the room after they have left.

Yes, there is a latch on the inside, just above the handle, that unlocks the door.

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!

Whenever you shut the door, it's locked and a code is required to unlock it. You'd have to block the door open to keep it unlocked.

it is not a problem there is a small knob like piece on the inside for you to use. the only issue I have with the door is the seal where the door closes is difficult to keep attached.

You do need to lock this particular one from the inside, but you in locked mode you can still egress without doing anything, in other words the door locks on its own. I can't think of a situation where I would need to lock it from the outside. The dead bolt style you can lock from the outside. Hope that helps!

It is just like any other door lock from the inside and can be opened to exit. It is just permanently locked from the exterior.

There is a lock switch inside of the knob from the inside. By turning that switch you can lock/unlock the door.

Yes. You can leave the door open however, it will close if hit. You can also close it without it catching.

I don't think it can--how else are you going to lock yourself out? (kidding!) That's how these locking entry knobs are designed to work, it's a safety feature allowing emergency exit. Schlage does make other styles that do what you want. See http://answers.schlage.com/entries/20379577-When-the-door-is-locked-I-can-still-open-the-door-Emergency-Exit-

No, it just latches. You can "set" it to remain unlatched with a hex key from the inside, but there is no typical key to lock the door.

No. I can't think why that would be necessary. It is either locked or unlocked set on the door itself.

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.
