Does this have a button/slider the inside that will prevent the bolt from opening even if the correct code it pushed?

It doesn't have a button/slider, but you can input a code to disable the keypad so it only works with the key

Mine automatically re-locks ... I do not move the inside lock ever because it is simpler to simply press in the code To unlock rather than forget to re-lock ... hope that helps

How it is installed - It is installed flat up against the door track. You have to drill holes in the track for the bolt to slide and the two screws. Don't tighten the screws to tight as it will prevent the bolt from functioning properly and you will smoked the unit (like I did the first time) The wire then plugs into the appropriate connection on the opener. How it works: The lock is automatic at that point. The bolt slides open when you open the door and slides locked when the door is closed. It does have a manual override. This was a very easy installation. I do like having it.

the yellow switch on left side does slide to lock it ... could have bumped it down ... to fix issue slide the slider to the top

No, this model had a handle on the door to pull open. Please DO NOT purchase this model! This company has many problems with defective products. This model has a an issue with tripping the circuit breakers in the house. Please read the reviews before making your choice.

No....it does not. I put a little ball of tape in the end. That stopped the bolt from going in to far and held it in place.

The picture is wrong, there actually is a locking switch on the interior door knob (or at least there was when I bought it).

No, there is no sound when entering the code, assuming you hold in the door so it doesn't rattle back and forth as you press each button. The only sound you hear is the bolts being drawn back by the motor when the code is entered correctly. Even if the wrong code is entered, it just flashes "ERROR", no beeps.

Gee i have 3 of them and hasn't happened. My first suspicion is maybe the bolt hole is a little too snug. I'd check if you have the same issue with the door open. Then loosen the plates a little to see if you still have the issue. Several things could cause it, but maybe when they originally drilled the holes they were a little off?

No it does"t, this is exactly what I suggested it needed. You have to keep the allen wrench with you all the time to open and close the clamp. Too bad they did not think of this up front. I will be modifying my unit to be spring loaded

I locks when IN (via a small notch in the slider), but not when extended. Haven't had any issues with mine wandering back inward when working, but had considered that, and I think that a little work with a punch and some planning would easily modify the slider to require some more effort to move.

Yes it does, I had the same question and the manufacturer verified it.However, the unit is smaller and the bolt pattern is smaller. Ya gotta make 3 new holes.

Yes, it has a push button to lock from the interior of the door lever. Thanks and have a great day.

I received my safe today and run into the same frustration. The "instrctions" were a joke. I called Best Choice Products customer service and they informed me that the red button was located on the top area of the inside hinge. Sure enough it was there. It sounds like they have received several calls regarding this issue. Having said this, it looks like a great little, but substancial, safe.

No. The bar simply keeps the operable door panel from sliding open (keeps door from sliding down the track).

No bolt - just a taper. Actually, most quality drill presses use this method. It's very common and nothing to worry about. You'll like the drill!

The bolt is a long dead bolt type deal, so you must engage in some fashion to keep the door closed. As I remember, you can select to use the combo or key to manual lock/unlock, or lock with the turn of the handle. I believe you have to select a certain rod while installing to make the selection.In no case will it 'auto latch' (hold the door closed). You must manually latch, 100% of the time. It is locking with lever actionor not that is the choice.
