Is the door unlocked from the inside of the building? Or do you have to use finger/RFID tag to exit the building?

It's always unlocked from the inside. NOW. If you're planning on using this on a outside door. Don't. We have gone thru 2 at the fire department We thought we screwed up the first one. So we bought a second one since our ID cards work on it. This time we made sure there was no chance of any moister getting inside. Well the second one died in 3 months. We just went back to a door knob

Yes it's unlocked from the inside. It's a one-way entrance access so NO, you don't need the biometrics/RFID tag function to exit. Hope that answers your question.

Yes, ours is the same. We use our badge to enter the building and rooms. Haven't had any problems.

Yes. There are Five electronically selectable modes for controlling entry/exit. 1. Normal: In/Out allowed; 2. Pet can Enter but is Locked In; 3. Pet can Exit but is Locked Out; 4. Full Lock: No Entry or Exit; 5. Curfew mode: Timer controlled locking where pet is prevented from exiting during the curfew time defined by the owner, but operates in Normal mode at all other times.I haven't used any special modes yet but I plan to use them when required in the future.So far (about six months) our SureFlap Microchip Pet Door has operated flawlessly.

The Biometric reader scans one finger for the fingerprint. I found it very unreliable and inconsistent so I just use the keypad on this unit. When it unlocks, the knob does have to be turned to retract the lugs back into the door.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

There is a 4 digit key pad that you can use to instead of the biometric unit. Also the safe comes with a key back up in case the batteries die you can use the key to get into the safe.

cannot be left unlocked.... the keys have a magnet on them that pulls off the cover on the handle so that you can unlock the door

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.

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.

Inside and outside. Outside has a punch out point so you can insert a lock if you want. Inside has a lever to open the door. It is cheap though, so be warned

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

If you arm it in the away mode, it will have a delay so you can enter and exit. However, if you want it to immediately go off, put the switch on the side of the unit to "stay" and enter your code while the door is still open. Then close the door as you leave, and then it will immediately go off when you enter.

I wouldn't know. I returned the item. I couldn't even get my dog to use the door period for the reasons I have described. No one, not even the intended user got through. RFID range is close to zero.

Once in, nobody can enter without reentering the code. But you can egress freely, unless you lock it with the key. Does this answer your question??

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.

When leaving your house, you must turn around and lock the door by pressing the lock button. This is handy if you are running in and out doing yard work/kids etc so you don't have to keep pressing the code for re- entry.
