How do the paramedics come into the house if door is locked i? Do you need permission from paramedics to dial directly to their station?

If the door is locked they will knock it down to get in. As far as dialing directly to the station you will get a faster response call 911.

You have to be able to push the button which dials directly to 911. They can communicate with you through the call button. Haven't convinced my mother it should be hanging around her neck & not in her pocket, A key is hidden outside. Good neighbors are also an asset!

There is a device called a "Knox box" that you can have installed outside your door. Contact your FD. They'll approve your application and give you an order form that you fill out and send in with a payment medium. In a few days, you'll receive your "Knox Box". Simply get it mounted, provide an extra set of keys to open that door and call the FD to come lock the box. The reason you go through the FD to order one, is so the FD can know who has them, because they aren't supposed to entrust the master keys to just any one. And so the company knows which master key your local FD uses. There is a device called a "Knox box" that you can have installed outside your door. Contact your FD.

If your power goes out, my guess would be that the door would have to be opened manually from the inside by pulling the emergency rope. I suggest you not use an electric opener if a power outage would keep you locked out.

We set up 911 as the last number to dial if the regency button was pushed which means if none of us answer the alert 911 would be alerted. We have not tried to dial or set up 911 in any other form. I hope this helps.

There's a button you push in to lock. Just turn handle and the door unlocks and opens. I really love these latitude handles, and the price is great.

It is sort of like a phone. You program phone numbers to auto dial when the person presses the 'emergency' button. If the 1st number does not answer, it will auto dial the next number. Then the last phone number is 911. You can use the device to answer the phone wherever you are in the house. I don't know but I would guess if you put it on the 2nd floor, it might reach the 1st & 3rd floors. It has a 300 ft range & will go through some walls & floors. My Mom lives on a single floor but I also have one for my Mother-in law & she uses it on 1st & 2nd floor of her home. Good luck

You must first turn the knob from inside to open the door. I believe this is to prevent someone from locking themselves out of the room after they have left.

If the interior lever is in the horizontal position, the door is locked and you need the code to open it. By putting the lever in the vertical position, you can open the door from the outside without the code.

No an adult can not open from the outside. We had a major storm come through a few weeks ago and I went outside to make sure everything was moved so nothing would take flight. Well apparently I only had the lock half out and it simehow managed to lock as I was outside. I tried my hardest to get in side. Rain was pouring and I finally talked my 5 year old into getting the lock back out just in the nick of time. Talk about a close call. I definelty feel safer about someone trying to get in.

Hi,yes you do need to unlock it before turning the knob. to open from inside.

Yes. We do it all the time. If someone knocks you just push the button to activate it. Works great.

1. You can't lock it from the inside. It opens as a normal door. You would need to add a deadbolt. I don't use anything else.2. No. It's always locked to someone in the outside, and always open to someone in the inside.3. Yes.

i had the same concern but 1. the base unit is super loud. and 2. if the person hits the button on the bracelet and it was an not intentional then they can get to the base unit when the company calls out to the person. if they cannot get to the base unit to talk to the dispatcher, then you would want them to send someone. If the person touched the button because there is an emergency, then it doesnt matter, they wont get to the base unit when the dispatcher calls out to them and calls will be made.

When you pick up the phone from the "hook" the keypad is on the inside of the handle. In other words you have to have the phone in your hand to dial. That makes sense because you have to have the phone in your hand to talk.

This one has just a knob to turn to unlock on the inside unfortunately...it would be easy to get to if there's a window nearby.

When leaving your house, you must turn around and lock the door by pressing the lock button. This is handy if you are running in and out doing yard work/kids etc so you don't have to keep pressing the code for re- entry.

You have to rotate the the nob counter clockwise to lock it. No code entry is required, So be careful when you close it. Also note the numbers on the buttons are hard to read so you may need a flashlight in low light situations. Good Unit though. Hope this helps.

If you push the lock button it resets the unit and it allows another set of numbers to be dialed in. You get 3 attempts I believe before the unit will sound an alarm for those in the house to know that there is a probable attempt of j authorized attempt. If it is a party one would think that there would be the owners and others inside so any 'smart' visitor would have to try the regular way when visiting someone which is to push the door bell button. For party cases the best approach would be to lift the cover and disable the 60 sec auto lock feature.
