Question 1

Does this lock have the automatic locking features

Accepted Answer

For those of you that are able to lock your deadbolt when leaving the house by only pushing the Schlage button & not having to enter your code  then be AWARE that the reverse is true as well. Meaning to gain entry you ONLY have to push the word ‘Schlage’ on your key pad and your in. Heads up everyone ! I found out after having this lock for quiet awhile that anyone could walk right in my house with no code just by pushing the Schlage button

Question 2

Has shladge addressed the issue where a bugler can drill a hole at the bottom of the lock to bypass code and key to unlock the deadbolt?

Accepted Answer

No, the vulnerability to drilling, identified and described in the review by "JC in OKC", remains, and it seems that Schlage hasn't reinforced the lock with harder metal plating, although the response from Beverly Lyon of Schlage (2010-10-10) failed to answer the question directly: ...As a general rule, residential door locks are not designed to completely prevent a power tool attack. Such tools are usually noisy, draw lots of attention, and are therefore not a common break-in method. With that said, we try to do everything possible to make our products as secure and convenient as possible, and we offer a broad range of lock options. ...

Question 3

Does the keypad always light up or only in the dark? Mine did not light up last night when I thought it ought to so I couldn't see the numbers at nigh

Accepted Answer

If you touch the Schlage logo above the numbers, it activates the lighting. If you're in a low or no light situation, it's a very handy feature. Otherwise the lighting status off.

Question 4

thinking of using this deadbolt for a rental property, how easy is it to change the code?  Is there a limit to how many times code can be changed?

Accepted Answer

This lock is super easy to program. You can program it as many times as you need to, and can have several different codes for one lock.
