Well, that is true, but if Schlage was smarter they would make it such that once you open the lever from the inside, it UNLOCKS the cylinder as well... so you dont get locked outside.

This is a safety issue that you should be thankful to the manufacturer for taking the time to be concerned about your personal safety and security. |
