What is Schlage turn lock feature?

Answered by Robert Dupre

The Schlage turn lock feature is an incredibly convenient function that allows you to lock the Keypad Deadbolt (BE365) from the outside without having to enter a user code. This feature is enabled by default, meaning that when you press the Schlage button on the keypad and rotate the thumbturn, the lock will engage and secure your door.

I personally find this feature to be incredibly useful in situations where I need to quickly lock the door from the outside without fumbling for my user code. For example, if I’m running late for work and need to lock up in a hurry, I can simply press the Schlage button and rotate the thumbturn to ensure that my door is securely locked.

However, there may be instances where you prefer to have an added layer of security and require a user code to be entered before the thumbturn can be rotated. In these cases, you can easily disable the turn lock feature by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

I remember a time when I had guests staying over at my house and wanted to ensure that only authorized individuals could lock and unlock the door. By disabling the turn lock feature, I was able to provide my guests with their own unique user codes, giving them the ability to lock the door from the outside while still maintaining control over who could access my home.

To enable or disable the turn lock feature, you will need to consult the product manual or contact Schlage customer support for detailed instructions specific to your Keypad Deadbolt model. It’s important to note that the process may vary slightly depending on the specific lock you have.

The Schlage turn lock feature is a convenient function that allows you to lock the Keypad Deadbolt (BE365) from the outside without having to enter a user code. This feature can be enabled or disabled depending on your personal preferences and security needs. Whether you choose to utilize this feature for quick and easy locking or prefer the added security of requiring a user code, the Schlage turn lock feature provides flexibility and peace of mind for homeowners.
