I bought a 746-148 (cheap one) and it was very hard to press the lock down manully, I had to return it and replace it with a Doorman. Why is that?

It could be that the linkage was not correctly positioned. Mine (Doorman) was also difficult, I had the linkage on backwards.

That's a good question, I wondered the same thing, I did a search at different sites using the model number, what I found out is that the picture is in error, there is a button in the middle of the knob to turn to lock it. It's a really nice lock set. hope i answered your question clearly

Sorry but I return the it. I may have had a defective one because I couldn't change the combination to my own. Bought the master lock instead.

Hello, I haven't experienced this issue, the only time the door relocks is when I close the door. It sounds like you may have a defective door lock.

I returned it, so I don't know. Was unhappy with either the keypad being hard to press, or the door latch button being hard to use.

Amazon asked me to try and answer your question since I bought one and am very satisfied. You may be trying to enter a different code than you originally programmed. Use you key to open the safe and follow the directions you received with the safe to re-program. Hope this helps.

I had one and it would not unlock one door [remote]. There tech. help sucks. But they did return my money.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely: 1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect. Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

No, mainly because of the pressure release valve when under pressure.. Hope they fixed the door mine worked fine at first then after using it for a week I heard a large pop..?Door stopped locking...took it back and bought an expensive small oven.

When I had the same problem, it was because I put it on in reverse: I set it up for a right-hand door when it was a left hand door. When it is on correctly, you just twist the nob toward the door jamb to lock. Code only needed to open,

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

Hello Stephanie. You could easily find the english manual on Google. If you want, give me your mail and I will send to you. But attention, your door lock is exactly SHS-5320? Or it is SHS-H700? Visually they are the same, but there are some differences between them. I am now looking for the H700 english manual, because the main menu are different from 5230 and when I bought, i received the H700 model. Hugs. Eduardo

Sometimes the gate opener doesn't work correctly. And if you want to get out you have to take the cylinders loose from the gate and unlock it manually. Also sometimes it freezes.

Dorothy, your question doesn't make sense. This unit IS a deadbolt. How could you "use" it without it still being a deadbolt? Would you set it to *unlocked mode* and just use it as a $110 doorknob? Why not just use the doorknob instead? Or are you debating on whether to have TWO deadbolts instead of one? Why?

I had that problem only 1 time, but I blamed it on the freezing temps that maybe the lock was frozen. Make sure you try to push the key in and down slightly and try to turn it. I found one time that the cable wasnt fully locked in the place and it wouldnt let me remove key unless I wiggled it around a little bit.

I had that happen once, I had gotten some dirt in the lock. I got it out sprayed some WD40 in there and it was good.Another time I just had the key turned the wrong way (locked not unlocked) it has to be all the way open to come outHope that helps, have a good Xmas!!
