Questions & Answers
Yes, it's reversible, according to a locksmith. The instructions have a lock on them. It's a piece of cake to undo. I've had this lock for over eight years and am very pleased with it.
The handle must be secured to the lock in this packaging. It was attached in the store packaging, but it is easily removable. You can use it on either the left or right side of the door.
The Schlage FE595 is a non-returnable lock. reversible (hands-on)
This is not a replacement for a standard door latch or lock. For the deadbolt, you'll need the FE365, which I have. Note: A locksmith is capable of re-keying a lock. The locks should be cored so that the key bypass can be accomplished with the same key. That is more convenient for me than having to keep a bunch of bypass keys on hand.

After it's been properly installed, I really like this product. The instructions are for the handle type kit, not the standard knob type, as many people have pointed out. The instructions for this knob type are nowhere to be found on Schlage's website. This causes a major headache for the installation's final stages. It's up to you to figure out which of the various knob sizes goes on which side (and how the sleeve on the outside portion fits). I had it installed for a week and a half. It worked perfectly, the programming was simple, and so on, until the outside knob fell off. and off. and off. After reading numerous reviews, I discovered that this is a common issue. I was on the verge of packing it up and returning it to Amazon. br>However, I read in one review that the knob with the longer shaft goes on the outside of the door (both fit, so it's like a coin-toss). toss in the middle of the installation). I switched the two knobs, and it eventually turned on. It would only take a simple "oh, by the way. " " in the instructions and 50% of the negative reviews would not have been posted if" in the instructions had been posted if" in the instructions had been posted if.
The installation went smoothly until one of the numbers in the code wouldn't "take. " After about an hour of trying, the installer was able to get the number to work. The first stumbling block had been overcome. An officer looked at the lock this week and demonstrated how dangerous it is. Before you consider this product for your home, watch the attached video!.
Several reviews have inquired as to why this is less expensive than the FE595; unfortunately, I discovered this the hard way. Because the FE575 lacks a back latch to keep the door unlocked, it will always be in the LOCKED position. So, if you like to keep the door closed but unlocked, such as when bringing in groceries but don't want the dog or cat to get out, you won't be able to do so. When I contacted Schlage, they were unhelpful, claiming that the differences should be visible in the Amazon photos. They claim that these are intended for use in storerooms where the door must ALWAYS be locked, rather than for residential use on front doors. Needless to say, I'm dissatisfied because I purchased THREE of these and have already passed the 30-day return period. I hope this information is useful to others so they don't make the same costly error I did.
Design flaws. I purchased this to replace my door knob after my security system installed a keyless deadbolt as part of the system. The disadvantage is that they don't match, and if I lock the regular lock, the keyless entry won't work. br>Advantages: So far, this is the only keyless entry with a handle I've found. It actually matches the other door knobs I recently purchased. That part appeals to me because it locks instantly, which I like with the kids, and the wind can easily open the door. br>Handles, on the other hand, can be used in any direction. br>br>Conns: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "innovative Just keep in mind that there isn't a regular lock on the inside, and there's no way of knowing whether it's locked or not. It will simply open if you push the handle. To find out if it's locked, you'll have to go outside and, I suppose, through another door. Call me insane, but that doesn't make me feel any better. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. Two more keyless entry locks are in my possession. Who would make you remove the entire door knob to replace a battery when they both have easy access to the battery and locks inside? Because I'm a woman, I've figured these out after ten doorknobs. However, an elderly lady and the majority of ordinary people do not want to change a battery, let alone a door knob. And replacing a battery every few months, or roughly four times a year, seems insane. As well as wear and tear on parts from screwing and unscrewing. br>I'm still on the fence about keeping it. I put off changing the other batteries because I can't imagine myself removing a door knob every time the battery dies. That is absolutely insane! For that reason, I would not purchase again. The handle is the only reason I'm considering keeping it, and it locks right away in case the other keyless entry battery dies or something goes wrong.
