Yes, just reverse the wiring. Use the N.O. (normally open) instead of the N.C. (normally closed) circuit. Though you may want to use a switch to turn the power off when you want it unlocked. Then turn the switch on to restore power and lock the door.

Yes. Push slider on button towards top and it locks. You can leave it as long as you like. Works great.

no,it is not capable to lock, also I've tried to hold files in the drawer but they kept falling over, I now have folders for my papers.

Yes you can lock your self out. This just keeps the screen from timing out.

It has the ability to be locked. I had to buy my own from Walmart. Still worth it though.

You can put a lock on it. BUT...I wrote a scathing review of this item. Don't buy it unless you want your fingers sliced, your rod tips broken, and pulling outall your hair. I returned this in one day after receiving. Poor quality and functionality.

Yea--it locks five seconds after it's opened. You can set it to stay open if you want too. So both options are available.

You can program the lock to auto lock or to manual lock, whatever your preference is. You did need to know that you can open the door from the inside while it remains in the locked position. This could be an issue if you are used to a door that the knob will not turn from either side of the door while locked.

Yes you can. However you may not want too. If you want to lock fulll time they have a much cheaper option to achieve that.

Just use it. do not have to do anything, once it is opened it stays open until you close it.

There is not a way to "lock" it on, but it will stay on for as long as you want it to if you manually reset the timer.

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

Hi Craig, It is secure enough that it needs to be intentionally opened. Thanks

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

Yes you can. But the locking hole is not very large, so a small lock is needed.

You would need to get it programed, usually a lock smith can do that for you.

Hello, Under normal operation, you can open the lock as soon as the correct sequence has been entered. The lock does have a time delay mode that can be programmed if needed. Securitybase.com
