Hi, I live in a building and works great. The button on the inside part is to deactivate the lock, living the door unlocked.

Schlage button can be used to light up entire keypad at night. It's also used when programming for this lock. (On a keyless deadbolt lock it's used as a quick way to lock door with using key)Yes, this can be used outside. I have one on front door (under covered porch) a one on the shed entrance (exposed to a lot more sun, freezing temps, wind, rain and snow)

I have purchased and using five of theses dispensers at various locations at our recreational property and at my home shop. I chose to use the button provided in all of them without any need to use the lock (and key). I guess that doesn't answer your question, however it does give my opinion that I they work great without being locked.

I don't believe it is for outside use. We've only installed them inside commercial spaces. I would confirm their intended usage via the Elkay website.

Yes, I believe you press the Schlage button and it lights up. It's not lit all the time as it would drain the batteries.

The keys light up when you push the top "Schlage" button, no matter day or night. Our front porch is pitch black at night, so this feature is essential when we come home to open the front door after dark.

I keyed my new lock to my house keys by exchanging the complete tumbler. I used the tumbler from the lock I replaced with my new keypad lock. I'm sure a locksmith could exchange the pins in the tumbler to accomidate your house key as well. Schlage is a very high quality lock that is designed to be keyed to other similar locks.

A battery is unnecessary. You apply and enjoy pressure freely manually. A button differs in a pleasant part, respectively. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

If you have a "city" application go for it. I am in the cocuntry and It does not serve the purpose. I have already changed the gears one time and will have to change again soon. I put down a metal strip for the gate to run up on when opening and the metal strip is contaminated by stuff in the field. This is not a heavy duty item.

they are not really intended for outdoor use, the manual doesn't really specify, but does warn against using it as an exterior front line of defense type of lock (It can be defeated with a sawzall and a screwdriver...)despite the sales pitch saying that you can use it on your front door.

The button is recessed, basically you push on the plastic but this unit is basically a relay and you wouldn't want to use this power something you would need to physically push to activate readily. I use this unit to operate my garage door and I mount it right next to my garage door opener on the celling.

No you do not need a key to lock the door from the outside. As far as how it's done, it has some sort of mechanism that auto- locks quickly after you unlock the door. You can however use the key to lock and unlock this doorknob also. This door knob will always use the auto-lock feature and cannot be bypassed. Schlage however makes the same type of doorknob without the auto lock feature where you can use the keypad to unlock the door, but need to use the key to lock from the outside.

It is an electric switch. It can be used outside in a suitable electric junction box rated for outside and with a flip up cover over the front.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

I would assume you could use it outside as long as there is nothing that will pass within four feet or so in front of it to set it off constantly. If it is set off regularly (I mean every five minutes or so) the cartridges won't last you long. That is the only thing...in a house there are less chances of environmental shifts to set it off (ie leaves, branches, shifts in sunlight etc).

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

You could use it to keep the two parts of fabric closed for a temporary solution. But you probably couldn't fit the stitches through the button's holes for a lasting solution. The stitches are very short.
